NYPD doing random backpack checks on subways
just heard on NPR.

What I don't get is why this is necessary. Due to the Iraq war, all the terrorists are "there," why are we worried about them "here?"

2. "There" seems to be "here" from where I am in London.
This entire "fighting them abroad" thing is ringing pretty fucking hollow for us Londoners.

3. Bleed , bleed, bleed. It's theatrics. There is no way in Hell to
prevent random acts of destruction and the authorities know it. Bleed, bleed, bleed while the stealing and killing continues.

4. the terrorists hate freedom
so if you are 'free' enough to let some cop rummage thru your pack, you are not a terrorist.


i guess.

5. Riding the Subway is a privilege, not a right!
I mean it's not like they were walking down the sidewalk or something...

Sorry folks. The United States is dead. Bush killed it.
