Eish. They've started checking IDs on the Green Line. Apparently, if you are innocent, you are not supposed to mind.

Nancy and I saw the original article in the Globe describing the searches. We found the announcement interesting not so much for the fact of the checks but for the extreme vagueness as to when and where they might take place, what the grounds for them might be, what would constitute satisfaction for the officer(s) making the checks, and what penalties might apply for failure to produce satisfactory documentation.

I suppose one could always feel one was doing their part to ensure security for all by greeting any officers one saw on the "T" and asking whether they would like to inspect one's ID....
