I have never seen a security checkpoint at a subway, what are you talking about? Hard to even imagine one. What is your source for that?

Most Mondays to Fridays between 4pm and 6pm, subway station for 7 train downtown 5th ave crossing with 42nd. Subway entrance facing Chipolte, next to Bryant Park.

Usually 4 cops and a little table setup with some device they enter tiny paper samples in. NYPD cops. They profile as some people are not stopped.

EDIT: Okay I found the picture for you although this is not station I refer to:

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for letting me know about that. I believe I've been there at those times but have never noticed.
