Search Me
While I was fighting off the dreaded rhinovirus, I missed some of the hubbub about the MBTA implementing random bag searches on the T (our public transport for readers outside the Bay state).

I’ll leave my personal feelings about this issue out of my post. But …. Yeesh people, is this the best we can come up with? Anyway…..

The fun thing about searching me is that some guard will end up with a bag of underwear – and there’s a 50% chance it will be dirty. That’s right; I travel with dirty laundry on a near daily basis. On gym days I bring fresh clothes to change into after my workout and I bring home the sweaty, previously worn stuff. At any given time I’ve got drawers, sports bras, socks, shirts and gym pants or some combination thereof.

I also travel with smelly food because after I work out I’m starving. So there’s that to look forward to as well.

Remember, this is a good opportunity to learn more about the fourth amendment.

On that note – happy Columbus Day!
