This has been a concern of mine since 9-11. In my community I've noticed at heightened times of alert, if there is a bus convoy (maybe three to five busses), you will see a sheriff's escort. Have seen that a couple times.
Had a conversation with a bus driver recently. They say they're aware of security, but since most are ladies, ages 50-60, usually (in my area) I'm not sure there'd be any way to defend against a problem. Face it. Soft targets are the reason we have to take the war on terror to THEM.
Bush knows that. Kerry...well, it's all a nuisance for him.
Hopefully security moms will come through Nov. 2.
How effective do you really think this is?
Particularly since they have all been disarmed by their own government!
