Nobody has managed to explain why Sethis and I are incorrect in stating that searches of this sort have no chance of succeeding.

Now, last I remember security check points are generally packed iwth people trying to get by, large concentrations of individuals all around.
Someone explain to me how a terrorist detonating an explosive AT the checkpoint or on the Train is any different? A suicide bomber is not going to care whether or not they die on the train or at a checkpoint. The point is still quite moot if the explosive detonates. And, if they have a deadman switch or anything of the sort such random checks will not STOP a terrorist, they will simply alter the location of the explosion.

"one of the more sensible of the anti-search arguments raised so far"
Hang on, can you point out any of my objections that *weren't* sensible? Can you state *which* ones are silly and *why* please?

"but equally it may mean that after giving up on their original plan, they give up on the bombing altogether."
But if they give up on bombing, what else will they try? Automatic weapons? Hostage taking? Hi-jacking? I personally don't believe that the searches will prevent any more bombings. The terrorists would have to be *very* stupid if they didn't anticipate that extra security would be put in place after the first attacks.

Basically, my point that I've been trying to put across for most of this thread is that I have suggested multiple examples of how useless random searches are. I've suggested over half a dozen logical scenarios *that no-one* has disagreed with. In my mind the examples I've set forward invalidate the usefulness of searches. No-one has yet given me any counter examples of a situation where a search directly prevents a bombing.

OK, two points here. If you're not arguing your own side, and simply pointing out "flaws" in *our* argument, then there really isn't much point in debating because you will never argue your own side.
