Cue the little kid yelling "that's racist"

If you can hear music from an IPOD across a train car that person with the IPOD is either def or soon will be.
Right on!!!! I have been trying to come up with a way to make a directional EMP gun. Say, a 1 degree spread. My technical wizard tells me that EMP is omni-directional and would shut down my vehicle also. I think it would be great for those who think it is necessary to share what they call music with the rest of the world to show them we don’t want to hear it.
Freedom is messy, chaotic and loud!
Deal with it. If you don’t like the “headphone leakage”, get a headphone and listen to what you want.
Sheesh.
(that tone is directed at the NYT whiner by the way)

I totally agree with your post.
Yeah no kidding. I mean this has been like this for AGES, even back to the walkman days. As a kid I remember riding those subway cars and hearing that little bit of noise coming from headphones.. people get upset over THAT now?
Thin skinned to say the least. Glad I no longer live in NYC and have to deal with the volume police.
Does this guy really live in NY? Aren't the African suitcases issuing mega-amplified profanity a bit more annoying? Ditto the pimpmobiles riding around broadcasting the same trash.

“It’s a noisy subway car, barreling down a tunnel, not mass.”
Now that’s funny! I cannot stand a lot of noise but you are right we are all a bit thin skinned - me I’m just a grumpy old man at 49.

I do vividly remember boom boxes and why the transit police frowned on them all the time!
This is why I use the JVC HA-FXC50-B in-ear headphones with my iPod—I don’t “leak” music to nearby listeners and the in-ear design provides suppression from outside noise, too.

What? You’ve never heard annoying until you’ve had to sit next to someone cranking C-SPAN up to 11 on his walkman.
Similar story. Back when I lived in an apartment, a neighbor was playing his jungle music way too loud. I rapped on the wall a couple of times with no satisfaction. So I moved my speakers as close to our shared wall as possible and played Joan Sutherland's Puritani Act I Sc 2 at full volume. I never had a problem again.

“...directional EMP gun. Say, a 1 degree spread.”
so if we cold focus a 360-degree waveform down to a 1-degree waveform, we could probably get a two-fer out of it.
as in frying more circuits other than the iPod.
sounds like a win-win to me....
My fantasy is to have a pickup truck with the speakers that they use to play church bells in the back for just such a purpose.
“cold” = could
I normally have some bagpipe music- usually a souvenir tour tape or CD from one of the Scottish regiments of the British Army on tour handy. I just happened to have Bach already in the deck at the time. :-)
I quite agree, though.
