Coming soon to a mass transit facility near you

[MadHound]

Coming off of their rousing success in Miami, where they managed to protect the US from an attack by a mentally ill man with an imaginary bomb, the Federal Air Marshall service is now looking to expand their operations into other forms of mass transit besides airlines. They are now going to be running a test program of placing AMs on trains, buses, and other forms of mass transit.

Why do I get the sinking feeling that we're going to be reading about multiple mentally ill being shot in cold blood? I mean really now, judging by their reaction to the poor guy in Miami, just think what is going to happen when they start riding those forms of mass transit which, due to their lower price, attract more poor, unstable and mentally ill people. This is just another set of disasters waiting to happen in my opinion.

Think I will be staying with my own personal private transportation for a long while. Lord knows, with my large size and loud voice I can easily intimidate some hyper trigger happy AM with seriously unfortunate results.

3. Did I hear correctly that they are operating under new rules of engagement

so that they only allowed to "wing" a hapless pedestrian trying to hail a yellow cab?

4. LOL, yes but all bets are off if you cut in front of one of them! n/t

8. Personally, I'm very concerned about

someone hijacking a train and crashing it into a building.
