| LIRR will search riders | |
| 2005-07-22 | |
| In response to second set of London bombings, random bag searches begin Friday morning. Passengers stepping onto Long Island Rail Road platforms today will be subject to random bag searches before they board trains, in an unprecedented measure adopted after terrorists bombed London's transit system for the second time in two weeks. Heh, wait for it... The New York Civil Liberties Union immediately blasted the move and said it is contemplating a suit to halt it.

| #7 When you stop to think about it: Large numbers of people crowded into mass transporation vehicle . . . How is this any different than boarding an aircraft? The ACLU got used to that . . . didn't they? . . . or did they? Maybe a compromise solution where members of the ACLU can carry their bags . . . |

| #5 Maybe they could have a special ACLU carriage where no-one has been searched... I'm sure it would be popular. |

They are the true enemy of America and they are funded with taxpayer dollars!! They need to go and quckly along with Ginsberg!! She is making a mockery of our Constitution and the American Way!!! |
