"I watched a security guard for the railroad checking out the train station this morning. He was going around jiggling the doors of the newspaper boxes. He didn't look inside, just jiggled the doors. I guess he didn't think terrorists would spend 50 cents to put a bomb inside. He won't make detective anytime soon."

I think the guard was doing what he could do, at least without spending his own money. He shouldn't have to even be dealing with the situation, because the real issue is; why are there locking newspaper boxes in the train station, or even in close proximity? Do they have unattended storage lockers too? Time for these items to pass into history.

His best was moronic. Going through the motions. It doesn't cost anything to look inside the box, the front is clear plastic.

He shouldn't have to even be dealing with the situation,

Of course he should, that's his job. To protect the rights of the people. Otherwise, fire him and use the money for something else.

because the real issue is; why are there locking newspaper boxes in the train station, or even in close proximity?

Ummm, so people can buy a newspaper to read on their commute?

Do they have unattended storage lockers too?

NO.

Time for these items to pass into history.

What a shame, some towelhead fanatics win by changing our whole society instead of us doing what it really takes to defend ourselves.
