Food, bike plans, T

dmazeHad a couple of people over last night and successfully cooked: poached salmon, rice pilaf, breaded cauliflower, with the most not-from-scratch part being the prepackaged bread crumbs. Came out well. Yay me. Cauliflower wasn't entirely right but it was close (it was something my mom made a lot, but in email she told me "no real recipe, I just kind of made it up"). Salmon steaks were on sale at the Porter Star for $3.99/pound with affinity card.
The T apparently decided that terrorists don't take bikes on the train on weekends, so sometime over the weekend I'm planning on heading out to Fitchburg. The forecast has degraded a little -- Sunday was going to be cloudy, highs around 70 a few days ago -- but I can probably make the decision tomorrow morning. Should remember to eat both tonight and tomorrow. I wonder if there's something that can be done with an extra unit of leftover fish.
In the "I like my Fourth Amendment rights" department, has the T actually said what they're searching people's bags for? Don't entirely remember enough .034 for this, but if P(search)=1/8 and P(boom)=1/100000, then the T's odds just don't seem that great, especially if people in the boom set don't look or act suspicious. And what if I have other things in my bag? If I assert that I'm carrying around an unmarked baggie of oregano, can they legally do anything?

Date: 2004-07-23 11:03 am (UTC)I suspect the bicycle restrictions are due to expected crowding and space concerns during the DNC.
what they're searching people's bags for?
This is from someone at Random Hall on Wednesday:
"according to rlhatton (who spoke with mbta middle management and mbta
police on the phone today), the mbta is only going to be searching bags,
etc. for bombs (he also asked specifically about knives, which won't be
a problem)... so those of us who carry multitools, picks, etc. should
be ok. just leave the c-14 at home..."
If I assert that I'm carrying around an unmarked baggie of oregano, can they legally do anything?
I carry around loose tea all the time. If any officer asks me what it is, I reserve the right to laugh at them.
