NEW YORK — Police on Thursday began random searches of bags and packages carried by people entering city subways, a new security measure announced after another round of bomb attacks in London.
"We just live in a world where, sadly, these kinds of security measures are necessary," Mayor Michael Bloomberg (search) said. "Are they intrusive? Yes, a little bit. But we are trying to find that right balance."
The inspections began Thursday on a small-scale basis in at least one location in Manhattan, where a cluster of officers was seen stopping five men over a 15-minute period as they entered a subway at evening rush hour. In each instance, the officers peered briefly into the men's bags, then waved them through.
Full-scale inspections are scheduled to be in place by rush hour Friday.
