Well, I totally disagree with you obviously, Urbane, but I congratulate you on your excellent use of the word jackanapes.

I still don't know if they read it, but they asked the metro police chief to respond to it.

His e-mail response to me (and everyone else, I'm sure) was about what you would expect. Citing precedent, public safety and terrorism, etc. Nothing surprising there, but this amazed me:

Quote:

we will not announce dates, times or locations of inspections in advance. However, signs will be posted well in front of the inspection point to alert customers that a random inspection is taking place. This way if people would prefer not to have their items inspected, they may either return without the item or choose an alternative means of transportation.
With signs posted "well in front" of the inspection point the day of the inspections, they will not catch a single terrorist. This does nothing.

except make it someone else's problem....which is surely what they want.

won't be long until they're asking you for your papers, comrade.

I'm angry this morning.
