Random search in NY subways?

Thinking out loud......If you have the intention of doing harm in the subways of NY, there's no problem...Why ? Because the stop and search is voluntary.

If you do not submit to a search, you cannot ride the trains, so, you can walk out of the subway...walk a few blocks and enter another subway, repeat this exersise util entering a subway without being searched.

Does this sound like searches on a voluntary/random basis are a waste of time ?

Me too....if you are looking for middle eastern terrorists it only makes sense to look at middle eastern looking people.

Unless of course if you are Politically correct then you waste time with little old white women and let the middle eastern people go by so they aren't offended.
