TSA invading Boston subway system
With downtown's Government Center stop and its Dunkin' Donuts closed for repairs, our friendly neighborhood TSAers went looking for the next stop, which turns out to be Haymarket Station (Dunkin' Donuts at the top of the back escalator).
Yup, they're back. On my trip home yesterday, I noticed the two TSAers setting up "The Desk," with four cops there to help out (one for each table leg?). While it's true that some of those fruit vendors on Fridays and Saturdays can get pretty nasty, I'm not sure that calls for six people to defend us from flying tomatoes. The afternoon commute just got that much better. On the plus side, there is a second entrance to the station that doesn't have space for these clowns. I know which one I'll be using. Mike |
are they going to keep rush hour people from boarding....LOTS OF LUCK
|
And don't forget North Station has an entrance a block away.
The way I look at it, if you're too lazy to seek out ways around warrantless searches by the thugs in blue, you deserve the Constitution spitting being handed to you. Maybe someone should set up a large screen showing how well the metal detectors and checkpoints at Volvograd's station kept train travelers safe last year. http://www.businessinsider.com/video...bombing-2014-1 |
Do they ever ask commuters for "Papers, please" in a faux Russian accent? Even in jest?
|
why not just have 2 cops do some random searches. I mean they are getting paid the same anyways.
BTW does the Global Entry card get you out of the search? Maybe add a precheck line while they are at it. |

I welcome the idea of more security in our mass transit systems.
Kinda silly to leave so many gaping holes in this process, but some security is better than none. |

The TSA = For Joke or Novelty Purposes Only. Not to be confused with actual security.
TSA is a security hole. Some "security" is worse than none. It's like being on fire and running in circles (do something!) instead of stop, drop, and roll. |
