Does anyone know if the DC Metro system is experiencing a higher-than-normal degree of security?
Family members of mine are visiting the Capitol, mostly traveling by Metro, and they've seen a noticeable number of both armed and (what appears to be) plainclothes security.
They've mentioned their observations to a couple of locals, both of whom said the number of armed personnel seems unusual.
We're not locals, so we don't have any standard to go by - does anyone in the area know if security has been stepped up, and why?
Probably ramped up to protect us from all those violent right wing christian conservatives in town for the Supreme Court Prayer Vigils.
Not sure about DC but I noticed the same thing here in NYC, which started last Thursday. Nobody has said anything officially in the press but the extra police presence is obvious to anyone who rides the subway regularly.
Maybe Obama promised it to the Russians.
Maybe to protect any muggers who are bashing someones brains out on the platform.
Qualify it - BLACK muggers.
I meant mugger, nothing more nothing less.
Russian President and delegation are in town.
Trayvon Martin’s parents are coming to town.
It’s the Joooos!. Then, again, it might be the Amish. Who knows anymore.
Damn! I forgot! Could also be white-Hispanics.
One last time. Everyone can rest easy...it’ll never be adherents of the ROP.
