Exited Boston's "Government Center" stop (one of the main downtown stops) to see two cops there, in military gear and everything, holding automatic weapons and waiting for the bad guys. Others were milling around outside. One of my friends said it looked like they were preparing for an alien invasion.

So what's my bigger fear, that the terrorists are going to invade our recently renovated subway stop, or that the cops will decide to take aim at, well, anything and end up picking off a couple of commuters.

Bottom line: Don't jump the turnstiles at Government Center.
