Thanks, NYPD

In the wake of the London bombings, the New York Police Department issued guidelines as to what New Yorkers are supposed to look for in spotting potential suicide bombers. The list includes watching for: "excessive sweating," "clenched fists," "inappropriate clothing for the season" "smelling like chemicals" and my personal favorite, "chanting or mumbling to oneself."

I'm sorry, but that sounds like about half the people I ride the subway with every day in mid-July.

I also love how, while the new city "random bag checks" on the subway follow the NYPD's guidelines to avoid profiling, every guy who looks even remotely Arabic gets his bag checked. Super job there guys.
