Kudos to "Ian Johnston, the Chief Constable of the British Transport Police," who having been taken to task by a local human rights lobby group for saying "his officers won't be wasting time searching 'little old white ladies' on the Tube," has gone ahead with detainments and searches.
Unfortunately here in NYC the NYCLU has filed a federal lawsuit to stop searches of riders as they enter the NYC subway system.
"A plaintiff in the suit, Joseph Gehring, says the searches have forced him to fear the police." Interesting, I guess he either fears terrorists less or wasn't living in NYC on 9/11.
I'll keep you posted as things develop.
