With body imaging devices and before and after work CROTCH RUBS.......Why doesn't this warrant the same response as at the airports???

1. Why?

2. I dunno...maybe because you can't ram a train into a

building or drop it from the air?

3. I guess blowing up half a city is no biggie. nt

14. They can also get rid of those pesky Beggers who inhabit the entrances

with rattling their change cups for DIMES to purchase a CRACK TREAT

4. SHHHH don't give them ideas.

[readmoreoften]

5. +1 Give 'em a few decades. They're just practicing now.

[redirish28]

6. Heck they are getting ready to start it next year.

7. I have seen them on the San Diego Trolley

When they approached me I told them to fuck off, they told me to chill out and they were just looking for (derogatory term for Mexicans).

8. They ARE doing it on buses... Here's a video showing the pat-downs - FOR THE BUS.

9. Give them time

Geez, how long do you think it takes to set up a fully fascist state in which the proles are quiet and obedient? You can't just snap your fingers and have it all be in place all at once. Not without a fight.

Oh, wait, are you thinking this has anything to do with safety?

10. Just you wait.

They are just waiting for the uproar over the airport feel and gropes to die down and the sheeple to get accustomed to their intrusive groping and x-raying at airports and then I am sure they have plans for further roll outs. Once Chertoff's pals have sold their machines to all the airports sales would naturally be inclined to drop off right? You think they are going to be content and leave it at that? Of course they've got plans up their sleeves to put their machines in train and bus stations, shopping malls, sports stadiums etc. and if there should be any effective resistance, watch for a terrorist incident which will occur at a non-airport location,(shopping mall, sports stadium etc) to convince everyone that yes, for our own safety we must let ourselves get scanned and groped when we go to the mall or to a football game.

13. and all done without a search warrant

What next?
The police wanting to search your house, without a warrant.

11. Probably because the militants can't take a subway car and then

ram it into skyscrapers like they did on 9/11. Just my best guess.

12. Subways go right to places that have more than 3000 people in them.

15. Yes, because that's the only kind of attack terrorists do now.

Good thing they've never figured out how to release Sarin nerve agent in a metro system (Tokyo, 1995) or blow up individual subway trains at the same time (London, 2005), or blow up commuter trains at rush hour (Madrid, 2004), or use mines to derail cross-country trains (Angola, 2001, SW Turkey, you-pick-the-year). Fortunately for us they only ever hijack planes and fly them into buildings (one event, four planes, three buildings).
