Court OKs New York's Subway Searches

The Associated Press reports U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman ruled that random police searches of subway riders' bags do not violate the Constitution and are a minimal intrusion on people's privacy:

"The risk of a terrorist bombing of New York City's subway system is real and substantial," Berman said.

I'm disappointed. As I posted here, I consider myself to be very supportive of most security measures, but I do not favor these random searches. I believe they do little to deter any attack. Searches based on suspicious behavior would be more effective. I fear all the random searches do is undermine our constitutional right to be secure from unreasonable searches which our founding fathers so wisely secured for us.
