There's no constitutional right to get on a subway

Irrelevant. It's the searches that are unreasonable, because they are random. Others are not stopped for a search. Probably a equal protection clause violation, as well.

Are you suggesting it's reasonable to deny a citizen access to the subway just because of the t-shirt they're wearing?

No, I'm saying the person wearing the T-Shirt is inviting a confrontation, and that's never very smart.

I think there is if it is public transportation, paid by you ... the public.

A private taxi is another matter, but I think you do have a consitutional right to get on a subway.
