I just love to expose the stupidity and navite of the luny left. Enjoy.

Wonder what will happen when an "I Do Not Consent to Being Searched" tee-shirt meets up with a "Club Gitmo" tee-shirt?? Get ready to ))))R-U-M-B-L-E((((!!!!

[Trailerpark Badass]

So typical of nutty urban leftists to complain about a momentary inconvenience but also give nearly unanimous support to forced disarmament of law-abiding citizens.

[FreedomCalls]

I prefer my version.

"No, I'm sorry Lieutenant, I can't locate anything hidden in his pants."

[oldbrowser]

This is not an abstract philosophical exercise, PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO KILL US.

Some people are so detached that they do not recognize the danger.

It makes sense that they should be against violence because they are so oblivious that they would surely be the first ones killed.

[WKUHilltopper]

How about a T-shirt which reads, "I consent to having my head lopped off"

[TheForceOfOne]

How about those who don't wish to be searched ride train "A" and those who don't mind the search for safety ride train "B" so that know ones rights get violated.

Which train will the terrorist take?

Which train will you take?

Me?? I'm walkin.

I can just see a cop trying to search a burqa wearer.

[BurbankKarl]

LA Sheriffs detained an LA Times photographer a little while for taking pictures in the Hollywood/Highland subway station. The guy was wetting his panties and called his "lawyer" when they told him to leave. So, they detained him.

There is no photography allowed on the MTA lines, has been that way since it opened. You must have a ticket to be below ground (hope the deputies cited the guy for that, $271)

Supervisors were responding last I heard.

"...i do not consent to being searched

...unless by Salma Hayek".

[edsheppa]

What does Hillary! think of this protest?

[pau1f0rd]

police promised they would not engage in racial profiling

[speechless]

[Kokojmudd]

I am considering marketing a T-Shirt which says,

"Search me! I look like an Arab!"

[BluH2o]

Wearing this t-shirt when traveling by air will guarantee a search. A off duty police officer wearing a t-shirt identifying him as a member of a police force from a city in CT was standing ahead of me in the security line at the Colo. Springs airport. The security people gave him the treatment, the only person selected to be given full scrutiny. Talked to him later and found out he was returning from a friends wedding and thought he might get a break if he wore the t-shirt ... didn't work.

[cyborg]

I won't be taking the subway anytime soon.

[LifeOrGoods?]

Racial profiling(especially at the borders) would save NYC from all this trash, but since NYC wants no racial profiling, they get this treatment. Maybe they will learn some day.

[finnman69]

What do you expect from a free weekly newspaper that has the most outrageous classified section in the world?

[TAquinas]

"'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.

[MississippiMan]

I'm stunned by the way so many on this thread just wholeheartedly throw their arms around an announcement like this and declare as idiots anyone who dares to express concern.

I'm VERY pro-law-enforcement, VERY anti-terrorist, and a 100% conservative. BUT, there's a reason why some protections are built into the constitution, and respecting those elements of the constitution does not automatically make one a "moonbat." Granted, the people behind these t-shirts probably ARE moonbats, but not because they see a problem with this.

It is the very height of naivete to automatically assume that ALL policemen are honorable, or that ALL members of ANY authority-group are honorable. This is EXACTLY why these protections are built into the constitution. It's called FREEDOM. The very notion that "if you got nothing to hide, you shouldn't have a problem with it" is entirely antithetical to the U.S. constitution, and it's a bizarre thing to see trumpeted on a board that so prides itself on allegiance to that document.

Finally, there's the reality that the odds of stopping anything via random searches are so miniscule as to be statistically non-existent. It's a knee-jerk move that will do nothing except cause trouble and clog up the arteries of public transportation.

I still like the 4th amendment, backed up by the 2nd amendment.... Who cares about the cool-aid drinkers?
