how have you made the subway transit any safer?
Your fictional officer's heroic ultimate sacrifice probably prevented the deaths of a significantly larger amount of people. The searches are conducted in the train station, not the train - which is where the religious lunatic intended to take his weapon to kill many times more.

As I said before, the searches are just a band-aid - and not among the most efficient ways to keep terrorists at bay.

Maybe we need a good old fashioned rope-stretchin' party, broadcasted all over the whole world.
