Police will begin conducting random searches of packages and backpacks carried by people entering city subways, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Thursday after a new series of bomb attacks in London......
Bet Bloomberg's been waiting for an excuse to violate the Fourth Amendment, and they will find a lot more drugs or even :gasp: cigarettes than anything else. Watch any large amount of cash get "forfeitured" too.

With explosives detectors and bomb sniffing dogs available, this isn't even useful.

Explosives detection relies on swab sample analysis (which means physical searching) not a magic "walk through the arch and we somehow we can detect ANY explosive machine" they only exist in science fiction films.

Typical libertarian bunk, you're more preoccupied with drugs being found then people's lives being saved.
