So I went on the staten island ferry last night for the first time. What I witnessed was ridiculous. Unarmed security walking around with dogs who were "sniffing" random people's bags and belongings. Now, the sign I saw at the BACK of the lobby said that your presence here and desire to ride the ferry is contingent upon your cooperation with authorities to be searched or inspected. It also said it was pursuant to the rules and regulations of the coast guard. Now, I didn't see any coast guardies there... And I haven't really done any research, but the ferry is free...is it "public property"?
I was just amazed that people were allowing the dog to sniff them. No reason for a stop. And they weren't even law enforcement.
I mean, what if someone was carrying something? I don't understand how that could possibly stand up in court...or even a knife?
Idk.
Thoughts?
