And, since many stations in the NYC system have multiple entrances, just find a different one and go through that.
Heck, even if there is only one entrance (and you happen to be a suicide bomber who wants to succeed, not saying you are

Just like the TSA, a complete waste of money and resources for feel-good security theater.
