My parents will appreciate the do-nothing philosophy and cynism when my body is splattered about the inside of the train cars here in the Twin Cities. They'll be really glad we didn't overreact.

To those of you who read this story, its the tip of the iceburg. We are indeed at war, and have been for years, much to many of your disinterest.

To those of you who are part of the 70 percent who do not favor our President, go back to sleep, because you are nothing but a hindrance to national survival. It's pretty kewl to taunt and tease those of us who fight this war, isn't it...rather Berkleyesque affulent leftist, and consequence averse, neato;) Your attirude also emboldens the murderous enemy who has told you repeatedly they will destroy this country.

To those of you who have demonstrated ad finitum in public about Bush and his supposed lies- where were you when during Clinton, the bloodletting of Americans continued to mount from terrorism with no appreciable response, an underfunded, undersupported, marginalized and truncated intelligence community?

There were no demands to know why American blood was being shed with no confrontation; no human rights groups or ACLU interrogatories.

My friends have died in this war and to the well insulated, overfed and overstimulated, distant and typically arrogant alleged American who connects gas prices with the news story, gobble another hot pocket and go watch Simpsons, because you're useless to those of us who are fighting this war with little concern of our countrymen, much less outright lying about national security and blaming the President.

WHERE did this take place? Its quite irritating when the media fails to name the city.

When is our gov't going to start being proactive towards terrorism vs. reactive. Seems to be the going trend

REMEBER THE ALAMO! Send the Mexicans back where they belong!!!

well now maybe our illustrious Congressional types could actually make it a Federal crime to photograph or videotape any property or facilities which receive federal mass transit funds, so that such activities can be clearly known as illegal, and require states to have such laws on their books in order to qualify for US mass transit funds (and the Right Honrable Congresswoman McKinney from Georgia could introduce such a law, using the Atlanta reports as her justification unless she is too busy slugging capitol hill cops

If we are on alert, why is there no check or suitcases or luggage when boarding AMTRAK and METRO?

No, things are really safe now. My brother has been put on some list somewhere because his name is too common. So everytime he flies he has to wait in the long lines to check in at the counter (no self-check, no online check-in). See, so they are really focused on finding the terrorists, with really common US names.

DAMN Political correctness and DAMN the ACLU... Congress should dare them to sue and go ahead with profiling - either that or we will pay with another 9-11. Wake up America !!

Just waiting for terrorists to show up in Houston, take one look at the METRO Light Rail, and walk away laughing.

There is no such thing as homeland "security". There is nothing secure about our homeland

When will people actually wake up and see all of this for what it is?

So, what, now we don't have the freedom to videotape things in this country? I am sorry, but mass transit is an interesting thing. I live in Los Angeles and take the train and bus every day. I have, for my own personal photo album, taken photos inside the subway train. Does this make me a suspect? Does this make all train enthusiasts terrorists? Hardly.

People, please realize something, if you are willing to give up your freedom to videotape public sites in this country because you're scared of the boogey man, then you don't deserve your freedom in the first place.

Stop being so darn scared. You're playing right into the hands of the media. Why did they release this info now? Because it's convenient. Maybe people are starting to be a little less scared. Maybe that scares the powers that be.

Things aren't always what they seem. Open your eyes.

These reports are worrisome, to say the least. Note, however, that taking picture or videotaping government buildings and mass transit is not illegal (contrary to claims often made by uniformed officers in D.C.--noted and determined false by the Washington Post). As private citizens, we must simply remain vigilant in reporting these activities for further investigation to the proper authorities. We'll learn more by following these suspicious types than by going beyond the law to arrest them on the spot.

Security cameras taking "pictures of the evildoers after the next attack?" Not likely!! Both the evildoers and the cameras are going to vaporize in the next attack.

We haven't had an attack in almost 5 yrs. We can protect and apply all the prevention methods we have available, but it is impossible for one not to slip through. Terror attacks are now part of our lives.

Next time you see one video taping walk up to them and take their picture with your cell phone. Don't be shy. Then email it off to the FBI.

As an art student, I used to take pictures of mundane places like the stairwell of a subway platform, or the converging tracks of a line. I found the images visually arresting. Now I realize that I would probably be the one to get arrested for even drawing a picture of these scenes!

Some of you peopls posting comments on here scare the $#@$#@ out of me. Quit thinking everything is political! Even if it is, it is better to be safe than sorry!I agree with Paul. We need to start profiling ASAP. If they don't like it then leave!

I got locked on a subway platform in Philly a couple months ago after mid-night and the last train had left. Called SEPTA police twice and nobody came to see what two people could be up to at 1 in the morning. It was very discouraging. If we had been terrorists, we could have done a lot of damage since nobody seemed interested in letting us out for hours.

To the woman in Atlanta observing the MARTA videotaping.....

Do you really think a terrorist is going to bomb an Atlanta subway station? NY, DC, Boston, Philly, or Chicago, yes. But Atlanta? No way!

This is just all political hype to get people nervous about taking mass transit, thus putting more $$ in the pockets of the oil companies.
