So will those blue shirts starts working underground to make us safe?
The news this morning reported that al-Qaeda wants to cause mass body count terrorism. So I guess this means that we'll have the TSA based in malls, sports stadiums or any where there is a very large group of people.
I'm sure all those people that keep spouting the line "as long as it keeps me safe" will just love having to walk through metal detectors when they need to go to Wal-Mart or stand in a nude-o-scope to just get to work in our nations cities. <insert sarcastic look here.......roll of eyes doesn't enhance it enough>
The TSA is on mission creep and subway systems are in their scope whether or not they were actually in the scope of a person who would plead guilty to anything to keep his mother and other relatives from going to prison over an immigration violation or whatever else comes up in a fishing expedition.

Mass transit systems are designed to be open and accessible, and are intended to move large numbers of people rapidly and efficiently. Transit systems in larger cities have large numbers of stations with multiple entrances and exits, as well as multiple train platforms. All of these characteristics are a challenge to security, and TSA is actively pursuing programs and technologies to address those challenges.
