Security circus spreads to CTA
One random station per day. 1 in 10 checked at that station. All for show
Realized this is already being discussed in the travel security thread. Probably better to post there.

Given the recent NYC hatchet attack, I wonder what police will do when they go to do a bag check on a construction worker carrying a box of tools, including hammers.

You can't see it, but I'm rolling my eyes. So let's see, a person who wants to detonate explosives on the CTA simply has to send a scout into the station beforehand to determine whether they're doing random bag checks at that station. They are? Fine, move to another station. They aren't? Great, I'll carry on my explosives right here.
