… those passengers between South Ferry and Chambers Street on the 1 line. Who did they protect them from? Yours truly. After riding that train at least twice a work day for the past year I was asked to have my bag searched. Event went like this:

Officer: Can you go to that table?

Me: Excuse me?

Officer: Could you bring your bag to the table to be searched please?

Me: ahhhh, no.

Officer: OK… you can’t go in then.

Me: Alright.

So I proceeded across the street to the Yellow line station and hopped onto the R uptown. Not a single cop in sight from my exit of the 1 station to the my bus in Port Authority. I forgot to get the cop’s name and badge number. Next time. Maybe I’ll ask’em some questions too while I’m at it.
