Back in the 1980s there was a brooklyn lawyer who used to have a card that when you turned it over it read something like:
Yes, a understand my rights.
I do not wish to make a statement at this time.
I would like a lawyer present during all questioning.
Go back and have a look at the .pdf I linked to as (from my brief scan of the TOC) it appears to discuss case law with respect to transportation-related issues.
I may look at it tonight if my wife and kids don't have too much loaded on my plate.
I think I need a little more than a t-shirt! But thanks for the suggestion!
Subways are public accomodations in the same sense as a sidewalk is a public accomodation. An airplane is a public accomodation in the same sense as a resturant is a public accomodation.

I'll check it out.

I understand that, but there was no "NYPD" in 1789, either.
You're certainly free to believe that.
But the main reason that ideological profiling, internment and deportation are not the order of the day is that then the excuse would be gone and the totalitarian policies would be seen for what they really are.
And my real feelings about how it would be In * An * Ideal * World were described in one of L. Neil Smith's novels:
The protagonists were preparing to board a flying device of some sort and the only screening to which they were subjected was to be asked if they'd remembered to load their weapons with frangible ammunition before boarding the aircraft.
"'I Do Not Consent to Being Searched'"
Then you die.
Profiling: it works, not just for law enforcement, but for the people on the street, as well.
Couldn't say about the dates. But rights not specified in the Constitution are reserved by the states.
It seems to me that this a municipal issue.
Then they're not real cops if they cannot defend their people.
You don't believe terrorists are already here?
I'm beginning to despise the way I look at people I see out and about.
I've made the case that professional police forces only came into existence because of the large-scale immigration (of European peasants, mostly Irish) and internal migration (of freed slaves) to cities in the Northeast. The governing classes of these cities simply decided that disorder and chaos would rule the day if the Second Amendment was applied to these people. It's no coincidence that police departments came into existence right around the same time that the first gun control laws were passed.
Then you die.
Um, no, Rambo.
You go the entrance on the opposite side of the street and board the train.
You're dead on, Superior. During time of war, racial profiling is minimal intrusion. The true patriot will see it as absolutely necessary for survival. When 75 year old women engage in terrorist activities, search them. Until then some sense would be welcome.
Yes, but this thread isn't about the IRS.
Of course, the Tenth Amendment would also seem to indicate that Federal funds should not be used for the NYC subway system -- but that's a whole other issue!
Good grief, I know that.
They hate us because we didn't follow President Washington's advice to avoid foreign entanglements.
And so we've become mixed-up in Mideast politics and its terrorism.
Thanks, I needed that!
Now, where's that spare keyboard...
