Losing civil liberties...

Months ago, we were told that the NYPD was going to set aside the 4th amendment and begin randomly searching the possessions of subway passengers.

Now, we are told of a huge plot to set off multiple explosions in the subway. That leads me to believe that the random illegal searches were not successful at identifying and preventing just this type of situation from occurring.

Will the NYPD reverse course, and get back in line with the previously understoond meaning of the 4th amendment by abandoning their probable causeless random searches of innocent people?
