Subway IQ
New York cops have started searching bags on the subway. Unfortunately it's all bark, no bite. There are 4.5M riders a day on the NYC transit system, and only a few hundred bags a day will be inspected. If anything of London's scale happened (some 40 pax dying), then one's odds of being killed are 1/100,000, assuming he uses the system on the day a blast occurs. Walking down the street is far more dangerous than riding the subway.
It's also worth remembering that London had four bombs, which means that cops would have to stop all 4 bombs from entering the system. Let's assume that by sheer luck, 3 of the 4 bombers are stopped. There would still be a successful terrorist attack on the subway.
As I pointed out earlier, the cops would be far more effective if they rode the subway with the great unwashed and arrested the panhandlers, soliciters, grifters, drunken homeless, graffiti-makers, and people with bad BO who are encountered nearly every day on NYC's slimy subways.
