Your statement makes no sense. How do I know he didn't buy a ticket? If the guy in line in front of me knows there is a guard, then he will have a ticket (or not get in line). Assuming that the armed guard stops the non-payers, the guards will then be inconveniencing only legit customers. How is this a good idea?

Your argument seems to be based on the concept of punishment of a group for the actions of an individual (who may or may not be in that group). That's completely BS, if you ask me.
