You people aren't thinking. Picture a cop, faced with a 'suspicious' looking Middle Easterner. If he stops him and he's clean, the cop faces a complaint; if he isn't clean, he explodes.

The cops are going to be searching a lot of grannies.

The other side of the shirt says:

"Unless, of course, it's a cavity search."

Although police promised they would not engage in racial profiling

Which is to say, "we will not be searching mideasterner looking people".

Believing in the 4th amendment to the United States Constitution hardly puts one on the "left."

FINE! Then you can go to jail instead of your job .. and then you get to explain to your boss your lack of concern for your job and your idiocy at refusing to have your bag searched.

Typical liberals .. me me me me me .. to hell with the employer who is expecting you to show up for work that day.

The liberals have no VISION for tomorrow - they live only in the present.

My fear here is that if this creates huge lines, the terrorists can just wait until they are in the middle of the line and detonate right there, if they are truly suicide bombers.

Then what are they going to do?

"Lu will not get a cut. The shirts' manufacture, sale, and shipment, will be handled by the online retailer." Lu is selling the shirts through cafepress.com and SOMEONE or some org is getting a cut. Period.

I actually think the whole search thing is stupid. Until they deport all non-citizen muslims, halt all immigration and visitation by people from certain muslim countries, and keep a close eye on all muslim citizens in any way involved with radical churches, it is ridiculous to make the rest of us go through extreme security measures.

If after the obvious things are done there is still a threat, then I will have no problem with these random bag searches.

One of the London bombers (yesterday) was wearing a "New York" shirt. Coincidence or or a message that they are next? Let's see how well that shirt sells WHEN hell comes raining down on them.

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.

No search, no ride.

At least the police made it easy enough for a NYer to understand.

To the people who are complaining about the searches, just wait for a bomb to go off on a NY subway, you will be the first to complain about nothing was done to stop it.

I can just imagine the belly moaning that would go on today if the same sacrifices ask of civilians during WWII were ask today. People cannot seem to decipher the difference between fighting for the same cause during war and a attack on civil liberties during peace time.

This IS stupid. Random bag searches? How about searching Mideastern men and randomly searching Mideastern women. Profiling works and is the only sensible answer.

"stupidity and navite"? Maybe not.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

I rest my case.

Random searches are useless. Searches profiled by actions, including how one has "accessorized" would be far more fruitful. Focusing on more likely demographics - i.e. mostly ignore the tottering old ladies - would make the policy even more effective.

Besides, is swerving onto (not across) the center line is probable cause for a traffic stop, then nervously checking your watch a billion times in five minutes while encumbered by a bulky backpack or oversized coat should constitute probable cause. If the searchee happens to be a young, male individual of middle eastern descent, so be it.

JMO.

They have this here in WA state for the WA State Ferries also. You can decline to be searched or have your car or bags searched, and they will decline to let you ride the vessel. So, there is the trade off.
