PENNSYLVANIA STATION HAS BEEN THROUGH A LOT PRESIDENT FORD TELLING NYC TO DROP DEAD THE DAVID DINKINS CRACK DECADE, VIOLENCE AND CORRUPTION INVOLVING THE LIRR ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1840 BUT I NEVER THROUGH THE BADDEST DAYS OF 9/11 THOUGHT THAT PLACES LIKE PENN STA. WOULD BECOME AN ARMED OUTPOST WITH ACTIVE MILITARY HOME FROM THE WAR ON TERROR CARRYING M-16 ASSAULT RIFLES THE HEAVY BODY ARMOR NYPD ALL DRESSED IN BLACK WITH SUBMACHINE GUNS< BAG CHECKS AND THE LOSS OF PRIVACY THAT LIRR ANNOUNCES EVERY TRAIN RIDE "ALL BAGS ARE SUBJECT TO INSPECTION, X-RAY MACHINES SET UP, THE RADIOLOGICAL SNIFFERS PLACED THROUGHOUT THE STATION AND THE COMBAT BOOT WEARING K-9 UNITS PLACED ALL OVER PENN. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFER AT ALL, TERRORISTS BENT ON HARMING PEOPLE WILL DO IT AND ALL THIS POLICE STATE CRAP WILL NOT HELP EX. THE TWO JACK OFFS THAT GOT EXPLOSIVES ON PLANES BUT COULDNT DETONATE THEM SO IF THEY ARE COMING TO THE NYC TRANSIT AREAS THEY WILL DO THEIR THING AND ALL THIS BIG BROTHER CRAP WILL NOT STOP THEM. COULD YOU IMAGINE THESE ARMED PATROLS IN A GUNBATTLE IN PENN DURING A RUSH HOUR? THAT WOULD KILL MORE PEOPLE THAN A SHOE BOMB,I KNEW THINGS WERE NOT GOING TO BE THE SAME BUT NOT TO THIS EXTENT. I REALLY FEAR FOR OUR CIVIL AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND THIS MOST LIKELY IS BUT A SMALL PART OF THE BIG BROTHER MENTALITY TO COME.
