Metro Safety Update
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2010-10-28/metro-safety-update
Yesterday we learned of a ten month FBI sting that resulted in the arrest of a would-be Metro-bomber. And we learned that safety precautions to prevent track workers and trains from being on the same track still aren't working as they should. Find out what Metro's doing to address safety and security concerns, and how DC's underground system compares to others worldwide.

Metro can't keep the escalators fixed. Does anyone REALLY think they can keep us safe? I think the FBI can catch criminals in advance but I have no confidence in Metro security!
I lived in Moscow for years, and the DC metro is pathetic in comparison. We may have won the Cold War by bankrupting the Soviet Union, but we certainly could learn a lot about how to run public transport. It's safer and much more efficient. First innovation I would recommend is hiring an army of "babushkas" to watch for anomalies. When I was in Russia they called the old ladies that stuck their noses in everyone else's business the local "customs" service. :)
