DBP Secretary Napolitano thinks that it will be a fine idea to deploy scanners at train stations, cruise ship embarkation points and subway lines.
(Those gunshots? A bunch of executives at Carnival Cruises just offed themselves.)
The NYC subway system alone has 468 stations and carries about five million people a day. The entire NYC transit system carries over 7 million riders a day, 8 million if you add in the commuter lines. Total of subway and rail stations? 734, and that doesn't count bus stations (the buses carry 400,000 people a day over 80 routes and who knows how many bus stops).
The airlines, by comparison, carry (on average) 2 million passengers a day from less than 600 airports, and that number includes airports that have a few 19-seat puddlejumpers stopping by. The TSA would have to grow exponentially in order to cover the NYC mass transit system alone, let alone those in any other American city.
The TSA cannot scan and search everyone boarding the NC subway. It is the height of folly to even contemplate such.
Napolitano had better put down the crack pipe.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Here's a concept....if we get the hell out of other people's countries and leave them the hell alone; they will be more than happy to disavow any presumed interest in blowing our asses up here in the USSA.
ReplyDeleteGood gods, I am sick of the candy-assed fear-floggers.
I think he must have been thinking about those scenes in Total Recall where they do have scanners in the subway. However, the only reason why they're there is so that Ahnuld can crash through the screen later - as Chekhov wrote, if you show a gun lying on the table in the first act of your play, it must be fired in the third act.
