  • This is just a band-aid solution to providing security. Terrorists will find other ways to conceal explosives (who knows if they will hide the explosives in their throat next). If the USA is serious about preventing bombs and crimes, then how about banning firearms and explosives so that way no one can commit explosions or shootings.

  • soo... "free to turn around and leave" if one refuses? So the guy with the bomb would have to go out of his way to blow something up. Couldn't he just turn around and try again other day?

  • hello 1984

  • WMATA is so full of shit it's coming out of their ears.

  • Metro is a likely terrorist target, but this approach wouldn't stop an attack. Our emphasis in the anti-terrorist "war" continues to be placed on the wrong syllable!

  • The problem with their eliminating paper transfers just yet is that they have not completed their conversion to SmarTrip. Presently, no paper transfers leaves people using rail passes out in the cold, since those passes are not yet compatible with SmarTrip. Fix that, and then we can discuss eliminating paper transfers.

  • man metro is getting on y nerves these days :(

    no paper tranfers next year even if i use smartrp it still bugs me

  • All I have to say is wow. Just wow.

  • This was a bad idea in New York, New Jersey, and Boston, and it's a bad idea in DC, too. Unless you're going to inspect every single person's stuff going in, you're not providing any security, but rather just the illusion of security. I'm waiting for the news reports now of people getting fake bombs right past these people, and the process will be exposed for the joke it really is.
