I’m okay with the shelter in place but its not sustainable. In a few hours, people are going to be out and about. I give it until 4 p.m. today. If they don’t get the T going again, there could be some serious protests. And anyone who has ridden the T knows that it is full of young adults with back packs.

Yeah I understand why but agree it fails to be effective after a few hours.

My guess is that the animal has already left the area or has hunkered down to wait it out.

Agree.

I can understand the police wanting to keep traffic (both foot and vehicle) to a minimum so as to (hopefully) avoid citizen injuries if there is another shoot out, or if there are more explosives tossed by the remaining terrorist.

But people have lives they have to live - food to buy, kids to take to the doctor, jobs to get to. They won't stay locked in for long.

It is very nice weather today in Boston - I just took the dog out for a walk. People aren’t going to stay inside forever.
