New NYPD Searches: Random or not?

New York City will begin tomorrow morning randomly checking bags at subway stations, commuter railways and on buses, officials announced today in the wake of the terrorist bombings in London.

As a New Yorker myself, I'm all for new security measures and I'll be damned if some idiot wants to get on a train and blow it up. But, we all know that the searches won't be "random" as the NYPD says. They'll be picking out a specific profile, probably something like this - bronze skin, Arab-looking, maybe having a beard. They may have some ground for it but they should just be honest and say to the public "Look, if you are a middle-easterner, and you're carrying a bag, we are picking you out." 'Because that's how its gonna be.

My concern is that since Latinos and Arabs look a lot alike, how many Latinos will be picked out in this so called "random?" Better yet, how many times will "I" be picked out "randomly" on the trains. LOL
