NYC Cops Swarm Mass Transit

Trash cans are welded shut, armed guards are watching rail yards and thousands of cops are patrolling Penn Station. North America's busiest train station is the epicenter of the city's largest police deployment in memory.

Officers will be aboard every one of the more than 1,000 subway and commuter trains that roll daily into the labyrinth of platforms and tunnels beneath Madison Square Garden. Passengers will share platforms with bomb-sniffing dogs and chemical weapons detectors.

I know, I know, attack me for the comparison.

3. Safety and Security are the code words of today's fascists
