So it isn't working and is just more tax dollars wasted on the security theater? Cool.

Trust me bro it aint raycist... Check these stats 🤡
Gotta get that probable cause to search for weed.
Recreational weed has been legal in NY for years
Not if there is a federal agent. It is legal here in NM but the feds are constantly seizing pot because it is not legal at a federal level.
It's gonna be fun when it's legal in all 50 states at the state level, but still illegal federally.
Wait, did I say fun? I meant bullshit. It's going to be bullshit.

Found the trump supporter guys.
Once again trying to find anything to discredit the dems.
When it’s a first past the pole and electoral college game to get elected, discouraging votes for Harris necessarily helps Trump.
Same as encouraging 3rd party voting in a system where they are mathematically prevented from winning.
You either don’t understand the system we have, or you’re a disingenuous troll for Trump.
Harris chose to do something immoral because "it was the law", or it benefited her, or whatever - and you can expect her to continue doing that.
You still have to vote for her, but you also have to be realistic about who you're actually voting for.
Republicans are the party who holds their candidates up without criticism - and Dems put up Kamala now exactly because Democrats were criticizing Biden - and even though she's one of the worst candidates they've put up in years, she's still far more electable than Biden.
So yes. You need to both vote for and criticize Harris. It's the least immoral choice.
That is up to the state's attorney general whether to go after drug offense or not
I guess tell that to the federal agents seizing legal cannabis.
I don't think federal agents are using these scanners to find people carrying weed
Since when does law plays a role in harassment?

When u be that bottom...
Sorry, just replace weed with crack.
They wanted a subway gun crime deterrent, they just found it was much easier to build a subway deterrent.
It’s fraud. The company knows it’s unreliable and the investors know it’s unreliable, I wonder why NYC is still going to expand the trial run? 🤔
They found a scam to replace stop & frisk.
To be fair, he’s also a former cop. He’s also under indictment for fraud so take that for what it’s worth
TSA... security theater for the low, low price to taxpayer of $11.2 BILLION dollars
No, no. We just need to keep using it! It just needs a bigger sample. Surely, we'll find a weapon, eventually!
/s
It's the TSA for the subway!
I dunno, does the scanner grope you and steal stuff from your baggage?
If your dildo looks remotely like a gun, it might come after you.
Well now I feel a fool because I bought a gun-shaped dildo so it would draw less attention. I thought this was America!
Happiness is a warm gun?
Temperature is an important aspect of mouth feel.
Well I don't want it to come before me!
more tax dollars stolen
All personal income taxation is theft.
Not exactly, no. From other comments, it also have an incredibly high false positive rate, so it's negative security.
