They need to crack down on some of those unruly teenagers and drunks hanging around and sleeping and begging... that's more apt to bother riders than worrying about terrorists blowing us up --someone here said it right...remember 911 -- now how safe are our skies; two planes went missing off the radar screen...and they scrambled F-14's when??? AFTER THE CRASHED into our building; Look at the anthrax scare; even after that they searched and xrayed envelopes but some still got thru...I guess it's a good thing that they want to keep us 'safe', but like i said those rowdy kids, beggers, and drunks sleeping around get on my nerves more that wondering when the next bomb will go off...wonder what line they'd target? hmmmm? ...

They didn't 9/11/2001. Nor would they now that they know there are random searches. Metro is notoriously off schedule enough. I suppose there are some that really believe these would be random -- but so far their prosecution of people eating and drinking, or cursing in they system, has been target to certain individuals. While others get to eat, drink, curse, etc, to their hearts content. ... MORE >

Until the enforcement of the bag search, I've always felt safe on the Metro--way safer than on the SEPTA (Philly's Metro). I don't even do drugs; yet, I feel scared just thinking about going on the Metro!As a frequent visitor from Philadelphia, I tend to get off at Shady Grove to meet my friends for the weekend.

How about teachers teaching behind glass for protection, and randomized citizen drug tests to keep drugs off the street? I don't know about you, but I LOVE showing Big Brother, how I am an AMAZING american just to keep them off my back. GIVE ME A FRIGGIN BREAK!Why don't we just allow security cameras in our homes, and metal detectors in our grocery stores?
