Did you forget, "we're stopped at a red signal while a train passes in front of us." Its a rail road, is that unexpected? Yesterday on the subway some lady...
All over the news today is how the amount of anti-terorisim funding New York City will get this year was cut by over 40% from last year. This while other...
New York was *the* actual target chosen, for the worst terrorist act, and still has to be on the top ten list. Funding should be done by security need - not...

Here's another one that annoys the HELL out for several reasons: - Drinking ALCOHOLIC beverages on the train!!!! Don't get me wrong, I like beer as much as the...
The cuts are 100% justified. The threat has never been what was stated. That's not to say that New York City and Washington aren't tempting terrorist targets...

You're in a railroad car - LIRR thinks that is the same as being in a pub. Yes, I'd love Nassau and Suffolk PD's to randomly visit stations and look for drunks...
I'm not a lawyer BUT that seems like entrapment to me. The LIRR allows sale of alcohol, but it's illegal to carry an open container and obviously to drive...
Crew members should at least alert the police when they see these drunks. They occasionally do this late at night, but I've never seen the LIRR care during...
