I was catching a bus to Boston from the Port Authority two Fridays ago.
Apparently the bus to Foxwoods is a terrorist favorite, because Greyhound was searching people's baggage and using a handheld metal detector on them.
The best part about it was that they weren't searching you right before you boarded the bus (which would make sense), they were searching you while you were waiting in line by calling you up to the front of the line, searching/metal detecting, then letting you go back to the end of the line.
The terminal was crowded and there was no attempt to make sure that people who had already been OKed didn't get out of line, go pick up something dangerous and then get back in line, or have someone pass you something while you were waiting in line. Once you were screened initially, you were clear.
I think this is the worse "security" plan I've seen yet. Even aside from the inconvenience of it, it provided no security at all. Not a bit.
