Lamar Odom and Bobbie Kristina Brown were among the top trending people.

Remember the uproar over Metro Transit Police Chief Michael Taborn’s statement that Metro was thinking about upping security by conducting random searches of riders’ bags as they entered stations? Well, expect that uproar to get louder — Metro interim General Manager Richard Sarles announced this afternoon that random bag searches would be coming to a station near you “in the coming days.”

Oh, goody. WTOP’s Adam Tuss got the chance to chat with Metro Transit Police Chief Michael Taborn today. Taborn told Tuss that, in light of the arrest of Farooque Ahmed on terrorism-related charges yesterday, MTP “will definitely look at” conducting random bag checks inside Metrorail stations.
