I am thoroughly disgusted by this development, I would quote some of my favorite authors to illustrate why:
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety"and
-- Benjamin Franklin
"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."What people don't want to hear is that random searches are not increasing our security in dangerous time. Sacrificing the rights or people who use the public subways is not going to stop a determined terrorist from exploding the bomb or causing harm, but is going to increase the goverment powers in direct violation of the 4th ammendment. And as another great American said:
-- George Orwell
"As government expands, liberty contracts."ACLU is filing a lawsuit against the city of New York. As strange as it may sound, I am finding myself supporting ACLU on this one.
-- Ronald Reagan
