I don't have any problem with SEPTA (well, on this issue, talk to me at 6:30 when I've been waiting for the 23 bus for 40 minutes and that might be different). It sounds like this guy was just trying to cause an incident. Getting on the train with the huge back pack, not responding to the conductor, stuff like that.

The big backpack might be neccessary, but I missed that part. Sorry.
Asked him about the phone thing, and he said the grid was probablyshut down, as EVERYONE was trying to call out.
(He works for DHS, so...) Asked him for other details, and he said they were "working on it."
