Federal judge OKs random bag search in subways
A federal judge on Friday ruled that the NYPD can continue to randomly inspect bags of passengers entering the city's subway system in hopes of preventing another terrorist attack, the New York Times reports.
The New York Civil Liberties Union, which plans to appeal, said the searches are ineffective and an invasion of privacy. The city started the searches July 22 after the London subways were attacked by suicide bombers.
