|
in previous heightened states of "alert" the security around Grand Central Station (I work very nearby) was increased.
street entrance/cab stand on the west side of the station was closed off.
armed guards checking incoming trucks.
armed guards posted inside the station.
on Thanksgiving, I had to present a ticket before entering the track.
on Christmas I just walked onto the train and sat down.
I could have been carrying ANYTHING.
taking out a single car would have caused transportation chaos (and would have affected train travel in general for god knows how long).
why was there LESS security?
(has no one told the terrorists about the trains?)
