The NYCLU is suing over the random bag checks on the subway. I hope they win. These checks do absolutely nothing. There are numerous reasons why this is a pointless and expensive excercise. But, of course, the most blatant example of this is that they only check certain subway stations. I can say this because I ride the subway for 2.5 hours a day and have NEVER, EVER had by bag checked nor have I even seen cops checking bags.

This policy is a PR move and takes time and money away practices that could actually save lives.
