I still don't feel safer

From a source I wouldn't normally consult, Human Events Online:

A map of the Washington Metro subway system was posted last Thursday on a [password-protected] Internet site that has been linked to Al-Qaeda. The poster noted that a chemical weapons attack in the Washington subways would bring “amazing results” and advocated attacks in the U.S. on the scale of the one executed by Muhammad Atta.

This following on earlier comments by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff that the country can't afford to waste precious dollars trying to stop attacks on America's transit systems:

"A fully loaded airplane with jet fuel, a commercial airliner, has the capacity to kill 3,000 people. A bomb in a subway car may kill 30 people," Chertoff said. "When you start to think about your priorities, you're going to think about making sure you don't have a catastrophic thing first."

So the solution, I guess, if you live in a metropolitan area with a subway system, is to try not to be one of the 30 people. Easy to recommend if you're driven to work every day in an armor-plated sedan.

Duck and cover, people. Duck and cover.
