No Warning: This past week, I've noticed more police in the subways in Washington, DC. Not just beat walkers, but tough-lookin' cops in their BDUs, carrying duffel bags while they stare at the crowds shuffling past.
I wonder whether the Metro authorities are responding to a specific threat or if it finally donned on them that our trains are just as susceptible to Madrid-style backpack bombings.
Regardless, I don't see how even a military presence would deter people who are willing to take their lives to blow up innocents. Let's hope a broader plan is in the works.
