The day I stop working in Manhattan…
Posted on November 15th, 2008 by bile Tags: 4th Amendment, authoritarianism, bag search, bus terminal, Manhattan, New York, New York City, NJ Transit, police, police state, Port Authority, security check point… will be the day these tables are surrounded by cops, I’m ask to have my bag checked, I say no, I’m told I can’t enter, I tell them I’ll be taking another bus…
… and I either get home on an alternate bus or am arrested.
This image is from the entryway to the Port Authority terminal for the NJ Transit bus I take twice a day. This evening on my way home I saw for the first time tables positioned as shown with the sign. I’ve seen the sign before but never with tables and always pushed into a corner.
There is simply no way I will tolerate being searched on my way to or from work.
Oh… and do you like the “If you see something, say something” sign in the background? Those are all around the subway stations too.
