Roving security teams increasingly visit train stations, subways and other mass transit sites to deter terrorism. Critics say it's largely political theater.

Your papers, please

That whole TSA crew in royal blue reminds me of the junior varsity teams in high school. The varsity CBP officers at the airport put those bumbling amateurs to shame. Those CBP guys/gals know their business.

The Transportation Security Administration isn't just in airports anymore. TSA teams are increasingly conducting searches and screenings at train stations, subways, ferry terminals and other mass transit locations around the country.

Now, that's great.
I'll feel a lot safer when they start profiling, specially middle eastern types.

Most politicians are complicit with this. Most voters are too dumbed-down to care.

I’m not in favor of political theater, but I have a hard time understanding the opposition that frequently appears on this board to the very idea that there have to be searches of luggage and passengers on public transportation, especially airplanes. It is necessary. It’s necessary, of course, because of Islamist terrorism. But it is necessary, and it seems silly or worse to blame the gubmint for that need. And I yield to no-one in my lack of respect for the current occupant of the White House.
I heard a while ago someone say that the only thing the Arab world has contributed to modern civilization is the metal detector. Seems about right to me. But that’s where the blame lies, not with the TSA.

I was in Union Station in Chicago last week and there was a TSA guy with a dog (a mutt) wearing a “Do Not Pet” vest walking around sniffing for bombs. The dog was wagging his tail and having the time of his life.

On the one hand it burns me....on the other with the rise of Islam, Latinos from Mexico, Central and South America and all they bring...this may become common place in the near future. With American administrations unable to cope with a free society, free economy and the push from Marxists/Socialists/Communists to “equalize” everything you’ll be seeing security on every corner even gated communities for lower class citizens to keep out the destitute....

Unless the owners of the train line or station, the owners of the subways, ferry terminals and other mass transit locations have hired or have asked for TSA to do this, they are in violation of the 4th Amendment and will be getting some surly behavior from some people I'm sure.

Sounds like the democrats and this administration is “training” the American public in the ways of Hitler’s Germany and the Kremlins frisking and identification papers to be submissive to personal invasion. Next they may being “invading” our homes for countraband and other outlawed materials to “their”, government.

“Seiko, a German shepherd” I get it. He’s a watch dog.
When he chases his tail he’s just winding himself up.
