The next step in tightened security could be on U.S. public transportation, trains and boats.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says terrorists will continue to look for U.S. vulnerabilities, making tighter security standards necessary.

“[Terrorists] are going to continue to probe the system and try to find a way through,” Napolitano said in an interview that aired Monday night on "Charlie Rose."

“I think the tighter we get on aviation, we have to also be thinking now about going on to mass transit or to trains or maritime. So, what do we need to be doing to strengthen our protections there?”

sucks for people who live in places that have public transportation readily available as alternative means of travel. I live in Alabama. There is no such thing as public transit here. No taxis, no buses, nothing. You either drive your own vehicle, walk or ride a bike.

It is possible to not understand without being confused.
It is possible to be inaccessible without hiding.
It is possible to be aware without being awake.

It might expand to large ports and trains or metros, but there is no way it is practical or affordable to have TSA on every bus. Even a metal detector at the entrance would cause huge delays and screw everything up.

Yeah that's nice and all, trying to keep us alive but you know what. That would be annoying as hell and would literally SHITTY BALLS IN MY MOUTH the MTA here implode. There is absolutely no way they could implement it in buses and train stations are so chaotic that they would probably have small riots on their hands due to no one being able to go anywhere.

I actually hope that all these "security" measures get avoided and some homegrown terrorist takes down a large number of people. Its the only way the government is going to learn that "heightened security" doesn't deter or detect terrorists, and violating people's privacy rights for the sake of "safety."[cleft=darkslategray][/cleft][cright=black][/cright][pleft=white][/pleft][dl=black][/dl]

That's a pretty horrible thing to wish. It shouldn't take the deaths of innocents to get a point across.

You really underestimate how stupid our government is and how apathetic our people are.

It shouldn't, and it is a horrible thing to wish... but sometimes, its impossible to get into the thick skulls of some people without the deaths of someone. I can't count how many times a person's death is the only thing that has moved legislation forward here in the city. People don't seem to care unless there are some innocents dying... and even then it either has to be really tragic, or a lot of them.

I don't wish death on anyone... but I have to be realistic about the state of these things in our countries and the ignorance and stupidity of the government.[cleft=darkslategray][/cleft][cright=black][/cright][pleft=white][/pleft][dl=black][/dl]
