No, I'm saying the person wearing the
T-Shirt is inviting a confrontation,
and that's never very smart. Really, inviting a confrontation is never
very smart. Well, I'm all for the T-Shirts and these
searches are missing the point.
These men below invited confrontation and would deport Islam
in a New York City Minute and then the problem is solved.

Let it rip.
Cy's about to become a respectable married woman; give her a chance to have some fun while she can.

have a problem opening your bags to the cops before getting on the subway you can walk...there's the stairs!Yep, walk right on down one block to the next subway station where you probably won't be randomly selected. Great deterrent.

I would say that the search was being conducted with the utmost enthusiasm.

Airlines are private, subways are public.
But AIRPORTS are public.
And you get searched in the public airport, not on the private airplane.

How is wearing a t-shirt like that and defying the police a good thing?
To: RedRover
Some chicks love a rebel. A t-shirt like that might help you pick up chicks...

I suggest the New York cops use the British system. Shoot five shots into the head of anyone who refuses to halt and be searched. That would solve it nicely.
Common sense arrives to the forum.
As a friend of mine says, or perhaps it's just me in my non-on-line alter-ego:
One swift kick in the ass is worth more than one thousand gentle wipes of the ass.

Actually, you have a point.
Professional police forces didn't crop up until around the mid-Nineteenth century.
Before that, it was like the joke about the town too small to have a regular town drunk-- so we all took turns.

What do you expect from a free weekly newspaper that has the most outrageous classified section in the world?

THEY'RE ALREADY HERE... And that is the excuse put forth to shanghai our liberties.
We are not the problem. They are.
INTERN and DEPORT !!!
To: George Smiley
And you get searched in the public airport I don't. Unless I am preparing to board a private plane.
I go to the airport all the time without going through security. They even have a decent resturant there. I don't get searched unless I have a boarding pass and am proceeding to a gate. The gates are private property, leased by the individual airlines.

Do I dare ask what implement was being used to conduct the search?

You're not searched at the gates, either.
Try again.

Actually, the funniest part of the story was the old chinese guy sitting at the far end of the car. He didn't show anything. Just sat there passively with his ag of groceries. When I got off the car at the next stop and moved to the car in front, one of the guys in that car said, "You were the the looove shack."

Took the subway twice. No bag stop.
I did notice people looking around and checking out each other more closely than usual.
Im gonna get a t-shirt for the Subway that says
"I consent to shooting terrorists dead on sight"

You're not searched at the gates, either. Every time I have flown, I have been searched at the entrance to the airport gates (the area where only those with boarding passes can enter), not upon entering the airport itself. Maybe you act suspicious. *shrug*
