I thought that that was the new METREAUX mascot.

Many have long contended Lee. P. Brown's boondoggle legacy was a "White Elephant."

"Walking slowly end lookig right to left"

You mean like any tourist who doesn't know where they are going and trying not to miss any thing interesting? How foolish! Any terrorist worth his salt will be like any good burgler- don't stnd out and look like everyone else.

Did Mac (the baby at the zoo) leave a deposit. They do leave more, than say, P&R Rider's avian friends.

Trained, competent terrorists are likely to evade detection no matter what measures are put into place. However, dumbass wannabe terrorists--who probably constitute the great majority of terrorists in the US--CAN be caught by observant bystanders. (I'm talking about the kind of people who try to board an airplane with a quart of butane in a sports bottle under their jackets.)

you guys are way too critical. transit safety's important, and if you look at any other major agency in the country, you'll see that they do the same things, or similar. they don't all advertise it like METRO's doing, but all in all, stuff like this increases awareness, which is a good thing. get over it.
