Opinion by Judge THOMAS; Concurrence by Judge IKUTA; Dissent by Judge TALLMAN.
THOMAS, Circuit Judge:
In this interlocutory appeal, we consider whether a blanket policy of strip searching without reasonable suspicion of all individuals arrested and classified for housing in the general jail population violates the ar-restees’ clearly established constitutional rights. Under the circumstances presented by this case, we conclude that it does, and affirm the order of the district court denying qualified immunity in this § 1983 class action suit.
