Yes, and How many times have we opened threads on Attack in some other countries which almost happen on daily basis? :rolleyes:

I guess its the fact that it has happened in our own backyard, esp. ppl that lives in the NYC area and had suffer the 9/11 attacks with the loss of friends and loved ones that these "Attack on which ever country" threads open up. Its just a reminder that these kind of ppl are still around and that it can happen anywhere and they have to be stopped.
Wouldnt you be suspicious if there was a bag that was left 3ft away from where the person is sittin? it doesnt hurt to be cautious within ur surroundings. |

Amen to that... i am from Colombia, South america with this and worse things happens almost every day with the difference that is on rural towns or smaller cities. the same with Israel where suicide bombers can be something that happens on a weekly basis. not because London is megacity we have to give more importance:rolleyes::whip: |

These kind of ppl are around. But not everywhere...thats what I'm talkin bout...that is Really being Paranoid. I was in NYC during 9/11, it brought me down...all of us down. But, does this really affect you when it ONLY happens "In you own backyard"?? See the bigger picture...we are f@#$king ourselves over just because of "Whats mine and Whats yours"..... not pointing anything back at you....its just us...... Humans....
Answering your question, NO, I would not think theres a BOMB in a bag just because someones kept it 3 feet aways from him..... |

sorry for it, its just the reality we live in. :( remember when there was an explosion earlier this yr at some embassy in midtown? either way, everything IS a reminder.
anyway we still go on to live our lives, yet knowing that NYC is and will always be a potential target. at least ppl are more cautious and more likely to report suspicious activity now. we do what we can...
and yes that bag placed so far away would draw suspicion and thus may be used as a reason to report it. but other than that i would think, damn what a in for being so damn selfish and taking up so much room haha :whip: id prolly leave the car for safety reasons. actually ive left the train car for lesser reasons than that. :rolleyes: so why not just to be safe? |

Great, even more of a police state, and this won't deter anything besides the daily commuter's schedule. :( :mad:

NEW YORK - Police will begin conducting random searches of packages and backpacks carried by people entering city subways, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Thursday after a new series of bomb attacks in London.
Authorities said the system is still being developed, but the plan is for passengers carrying bags to be selected at random before they have passed through turnstiles.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly promised that officers would not engage in racial profiling, and that passengers will be free to "turn around and leave" rather than consent to a search.
Officials would not immediately say how frequently the checks would occur. The checks are scheduled to begin at some stations by Thursday evening and will be occurring throughout the system by rush hour on Friday.
"We just live in a world where, sadly, these kinds of security measures are necessary," Bloomberg said. "Are they intrusive? Yes, a little bit. But we are trying to find that right balance."
Searching the bags of more than a token number of straphangers may be impossible.
New York's subways carry about 4.5 million passengers on the average weekday, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
There are 468 subway stations in the system, most of which have multiple entrances, and during rush hours, the flood of commuters hurrying in and out of key stations can be overwhelming.
Asked whether the searches might create bottlenecks at subway entrances, Kelly suggested the searches would be of a small enough sampling of passengers that only individuals, rather than whole crowds, would be delayed.
"We are going to do it in a reasonable commonsense way," he said.
Similar types of random searches of subway passengers have prompted complaints from civil liberties groups in other cities, and in some cases have been challenged in court.
Christopher Dunn, associate legal director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said the searches in New York could be problematic, if not conducted properly.
"The department can and should be actively and aggressively investigating anyone they suspect of bringing explosives into the subway, but police searches of people without any individualized suspicion is contrary to our most basic constitutional values," he said.
Authorities said there is also a possibility that checks will be conducted on some bus and train passengers. |
