Maybe go after the root cause of the crime and not band-aid the symptoms? Nah status quo it is.

but..but that's expensive and requires systemic change! /s
I guess it's cheaper to use low wage National Guard members, than to hire more transit workers.
Not cheaper. More likely there is budget available for National Guard resources and things like anti-terror, disaster relief, etc., as opposed to next to nothing for infrastructure improvements and staffing.
We still don't have elevators, for the record. And the few we do have take 10 minutes to go one floor and have the smell of piss deeply baked in.
I feel so bad for anyone with mobility issues that needs to ride the NYC subway.
Its snor just disabled people. It also sucks for anyone with heavy equipment (especially since NYPD likes to randomly bag check minorities), bikes, injuries, or strollers.
I can't wait for all of the 4th amendment violations
What?!? No. This isn't "Stop and Frisk"! They are just going to halt and search people.
Hochul is ordering a force of nearly 1,000 people, comprised of 750 National Guard members, state police and MTA officers, to conduct bag checks at some of the busiest stations.
Shirley, this won't end up being done in a biased way. No way, not ever.....
/s
Bias is not the point - not that I doubt it will happen. The 4th amendment protects from any search by the government or those acting on their behalf, without a warrant or a qualifying exemption (e.g. probable cause, consent). Simply possessing a bag is not enough cause to justify a search without consent.
