Random Security Checks
By Micah Halpern

Sunday July 31, 2005

I've Been Thinking:

There should not be the slightest discussion as to whether or not it is wise to check passengers on entering public transit in New York.
It is very wise.

Random checks are essential in keeping a step ahead of the terrorists.
Random checks are a deterrent.
Random checks do yield results.

Is part of the protection plan an inconvenience? Of course it is. But it is worth it.
In Israel people are checked before they enter shopping malls, offices and restaurants. A security person opens your bag, rummages through and checks it, not the other way around. No one asks questions, it is the norm.

To improve safety on a larger, effective scale, other cities must follow NY's lead. It is essential that we not just search every 20th person, but every person.
It is essential to understand how to properly identify potential terrorists.

New Yorkers, specifically, and Americans in general must recognize that they are all potential targets, high up terrorist lists.
Protection is crucial, the alternative is to lie still and play victim.
