Metro’s random bags searches causing a stir or not?

Published



A new Metro report makes it seem like the random bag searches begun in the transit system last month have made barely a ripple among riders.

The transit agency said it stopped 23 riders at the Braddock Road Station on the Yellow and Blue lines plus 27 more at the College Park station of the Green Line on Dec. 21, according to a report to be presented to a board committee on Thursday. It said it has done other searches since, as well, but didn’t elaborate on where.
