Don't do WHAT?

So, New York's police continue their infringement upon the rights of NYC's commuters, and I wonder what part of the fourth amendment they don't understand. The part about 'probable cause', apparently, because Scott McClellan is publically doubting the credibility of the "threat" to the subway system. If I had a TV, I would totally even buy into premium cable to watch some sort of death-match throwdown debate between McClellan and Bloomberg.

Interestingly, Bush has not agreed with McClellan here, as he refuses to voice doubt about Bloomberg's decision. This, I think, is very intersting indeed, as it raises the question of who, exactly, McClellan is speaking for.

And from that linked article, apparently NY Police have been encouraging people not to carry bags or briefcases and things of that nature on the subway with them.

Yeah. You couple million commuters per day that use those subways? Just leave your briefcase or bookbag at home. Just...don't bring anything with you to work or school or home or wherever you may be going. Your productivity may suffer, but it's worth it, because it makes it easier for us to violate your rights as a general populace, when we search your bags with absolutely no probable cause for any sort of suspicion! It's a noble sacrifice, and I'm sure your boss will understand.

Man, if I were back on the East Coast, I'd totally go to Radio Shack, buy up a crapload of batteries, wires, a timer or two, a bunch of metal junk. Preferably with sharp edges. Then I'd dump it all in a big ol' backpack (perhaps along with, say, a copy of the constitution and some anti-war, anti-Bush literature), and go for a cruise through the subway system. Search this, you Bill of Rights destroyers.
