It would be much better to actually do some good. Such as verifying ticket purchase so the UTA revenue could go up instead of the rates.
Better yet, they could direct the trains in Farmington to use the INSIDE track to end the joke of walking all the way around.
I am Tired of the the stupidity of UTA for bad design and use.
Nothing worse than a bunch of administrators trying to get fae time on television.
Such "committee meetings" are useless and do NOTHING to promote effective security. It's nothing more than public illusion.
Most of these folks wouldn't know what to look for if Osama Bin Laden himself was there holding a press conference. After all, this IS Utah, "things like that don't happen here" do they?
Police: "you cannot ride on the platform."
Me: "where does the platform begin?"
Police: "we consider the entire thing the platform [motioning to the sidewalk behind the fence, on the parking lot side - Layton station]. We have HUGE signs stating 'no riding'."
Me: "ok, sorry."
Whew! Lesson learned.
This show of force might have been better taken if the parties involved presented it as a preparatory exercise.
Do we need top security 24/7 at remote posts? I don't know.
But I do know that I would want those who are to protect us to be trained thoroughly as to what to do. Hesitation, lack of preparation, assuming that everyone knows the plan... those can be costly delays in protecting & preserving life.
We need Homeland Security to ensure that commuters are safe. However, their actions should be meaningful and effective, not PR performances.
Nah, not the shifty eyed bearded guy with the turban...
These are not the droids you are looking for.....
Boy, do I feel safer now!
I'm glad the TSA is wasting money in Utah instead of spending in CA, where a terrorist could kill a greater number of people. Does Bush just want Californians to die? Or does he think Utahans just scare easier?
