Nearly 1,000 New York National Guardsmen, state police, and MTA cops are being deployed to carry out bag checks in the Big Apple’s crime-ridden subway system, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday.
In total, 750 guardsmen and 250 cops will help NYPD officers patrol the “the city’s busiest transit stations,” Hochul said.

I bet they will only search White people, no Blacks or Middle Eastern.

Why not simply put the people you arrest in jail? And don’t release the ones that are there already?

They bag check carry ons at every airport, I'm sure they'll find a way to do so at the subway.

The crime and confusion has a purpose: It gives the government an excuse to assume even more power and control over society. The more crime the better.

Read between the lines, people!
There’s a threat out there somewhere.
Anyone surprised?
I suspect Summer 2024 will be anything but boring.

Window dressing to make it look like she’s actually doing something about subway crime
BINGO! Subway version of TSA checks, inconvenience everyone that would feel the need to complain about crime.

WTF is a bag check? That's when a KGB Agent Heroic Protector of the People Police Officer accosts you, demands to see your papers, and rifles through your personal property. If you dispute its legality, you get handcuffed, shackled, beaten, and jailed for a few days. Because you're a threat to "Our DemocracyTM" ...

The left claimed Rudy’s Stop and Frisk policy was illegal. Odd how Bag Check is all okay with them.

Actually, I think this was the goal.
Import lots of criminals to provide an excuse to search everyone.

So if I’m walking in NYC, a group of soldiers has a right to stop me and go through my bags? Where did this new “right” come from?

Lovely ... what a joke that state/city is.
The Guardsmen to his/her boss “... aw boss, I have to take some time off to go police the subways. Don’t know when I’ll be back, but do I get to keep my salary/wages?”
These Guardsmen will be PISSED about this. Their families will be going broke from this if they areactivated for any length of time.

There was some chatter a year or two ago about bringing train/bus services under DHS and deploying TSA to control access. This could be a pretense for some sort of operation like that.
