As a New Yorker, I consent to anything that will make me safer

Of course, you do realize there's nothing in this scheme that actually will make you safer, right?

Unfortunately, the police are forced into being so p.c. that they will bypass someone who actually fits the terrorist profile to search a Norwegian grandmother with a fanny pack.
Still, searches are a deterrent and I welcome them.

PS. Though I might feel differently if I wore a fanny pack.

So do I.

Wrong. Profiling and searches will help find would-be bombers. Once found it avoids the calamity it would have caused if the bomb exploded. Profiling and targeted searches work.
