    DC Police Begin Random Searches of Metro Passengers' Bags

    The District of Columbia has begun "random" searching of Metro rail passengers's bags. There is no information on which of the 86 rail stations or 12,000 bus stops would be subject to searches. Passengers will be confront by police before entering train stations or boarding a bus. It is estimated that 1.2 million passengers use the rail and bus system each week day. A protest by citizens in opposition of the searches is being planned for October 29, 2008 from 3-7 pm. Those interested should go to their most convenient Metro station.
