Ride the T in Boston?
Ride the T, submit to searches. Your right to travel is now being limited even further. Word has it that people are putting huge dildos in their bags to protest search without probable cause. And just how "random" will this actually be?
From the Washington Post
BOSTON, June 8 -- The head of Boston's mass transit police said Tuesday that officers will begin random baggage checks in the first program of its kind instituted by a major American city to help guard against explosives being detonated in stations or on trains.
The checks, which will also use police dogs, are scheduled to begin just weeks before Boston holds the Democratic National Convention July 26-29 -- the first national political convention since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks -- and come in response to the train bombings that killed almost 200 people in Madrid in March.
