I had the news on for a bit this morning and they were talking about the increased terrorist threats ... how it would be something "spectacular" [i feel that is the wrong word to use ... it has a positive connotation] ... anyway ... while on the train today i noticed some things that were unusual ... they had someone at each station standing by the turnstiles ... where you use your pass to get on and off ... looking at each person ... not stopping anyone but at least checking them out ...


then while riding the train at several of the stops they made an announcment that if you see anyone suspicious, doing anything out of the ordinary, bags or boxes left anyway to immediately report it to a Metro official ...


it just gave me an eerie feeling ... it was weird ...
