The Capitol's transit system and a variety of police agencies have announced a program of "random' searches of passengers, to take place just outside stations.
Flex Your Rights is rounding up volunteers to distribute thousands of "How to Flex Your Rights on the Metro" flyers to riders entering and exiting various Metro stations3:00 today, and for tomorrow morning's commute.
Stop by their office, 1623 Connecticut, for supplies, including a complimentary "I don't consent to searches" shirt to wear during the event.
These searches likely don't violate ythe 4th Amendment as currently interpreted, but are still bad policy, aimed at convincing people that "we're doing something." I don't fgorsee any imp;act on terrorist activity, but LOTS of petty drug arrests.
