Used to be that you can flick a dime at a man operating a booth in a suit to get on a locomotive. Not anymore. The LIBERALS want you to get a full cavity search before boarding the subway or streetcar. Gone are the days of street urchins smoking cigars hitching a ride on the back of a trolley as it winds through a city street. Because of woke.

I'm curious what Chinese subways look like in the poorest cities. Hell, I wonder what it looks like in Xinjiang since they had terror attacks in the past and everyone in the west is claiming it's 1984 Holocaust 2 over there now

My aunt went to 乌鲁木齐 last year and said it's a regular metal detector, and you put luggage or large bags through a scanner like a pre-9/11 airport or a regular US high school. In Wuhan where I've been the most, your bags go through a scanner that's either automated or just manned by someone not paying attention.
