People need to go through metal detectors and have their belongings x-rayed at all major public transport areas.

I am shocked that subways across America are left without security checks. All of those great looking guards and I mean great looking, have no way of surveilancing everyone and everything!

Something like two million people a day ride use the MTA --mass transit system -- in NYC. The turn "rush hour" would lose its meaning if each of those two million riders had to undergo port of entry screening. Sensors are probably the better choice.

Sliwa had a brilliant riff on this subject the other day.

In order to grasp the ultimate stupidity of this ruling-and the precedent set by it-you have to consider the sheer volume of high-security public events held in New York City on a daily basis.

Presumably, these other social gatherings, e.g. sporting events, theatrical productions, concerts, etc., are protected by the same heretofore unrecognized 4th Amendment provisions that this senescent, radical jurist found to exist in this case.

If this asinine ruling were to be applied across-the-board, there's no telling how much havoc it could eventually wreak on our everyday lives.

Why do these imbeciles need to be given lifetime tenure, which is irrevocable, short of a resolution of impeachment by the House and a conviction assented to by sixty-seven members of the U.S. Senate?

Can't we find some sort of "Logan's Run" or "Wild in the Streets" solution to this problem?

Can't senile, quite possibly insane, justices in Marshall and Brennan mold be put out to pasture before they have the opportunity to inflict any more punishment on our nation's system of jurisprudence?
