How later courts describe this case

  • concluding that opposite-sex surveillance of male inmates is constitutionally permissible because minimal intrusions on prisoner’s privacy were outweighed by institutional concerns for safety and equal employment opportunity
  • property owned and mortgage paid by resident’s interstate trucking business, and used to put up truck drivers on layovers and to conduct business on weekends
  • a “staffing restriction does not violate Title VII” because “a minimal restriction such as the Unit 5 gender-based staffing restriction does not deprive female employees of any employment opportunities”
  • “Under this statute, intent may, and generally must, be proved circumstantially.”
  • "[T]he same conduct may constitute a substantial step toward the commission of more than one charged crime, as long as that conduct strongly corroborates the actor's criminal purpose underlying each charged crime."
