Enough with the brochures, already!

Nervous Maverick wishes the T would take all the money it's spending on security-awareness pamphlets and use it for actual security:

... so thank you mbta for your good intentions, but save the money you spend on glossy pamphlets and billboard signs and buy some bomb-sniffing dogs. put a few more officers on duty each shift. install more cameras in the tunnels and on the trains. do something that will actually make a difference. don't remind me to be more aware, because trust me, in the past four years there hasn't been a time where i haven't been exremely aware of my surroundings, decisions and safety.

Marilora says she wasn't a happy little Blue Line rider yesterday:

... Especially when I realized the the MBTA's version of stepping up security was to incessantly play it's "See Something, Say Something" campaign announcements in Government Center station and for T drivers to keep asking people to "please take all their belongings." Ummm. That's all well and good, but how about some real, actual security MBTA? I did not see any MBTA police in Maverick or Government Center this morning. I didn't really expect to see any at Maverick, but I figured Government Center, being literally under City Hall, might get a little bit of extra security this morning. Silly me. ...

The Tall Boston Law Student agrees enough is enough with the pamphlets and says one of the best ways the T could enhance security would be to just do its main job:

... Everyone is all about T safety since the London bombings. If heaven forbid there is a bombing though, its going to be waaaay more catastrophic than it should be because the stations and trains will be jam packed with people because the T can't do the one single thing they are supposed to do, keep the trains running on time! ...

Jenny says:

... Those security measures are all just for dumb show; it's all so pointless, really. Either we're bombed or we're not, and extra police officers in the T stations aren't going to do a damned thing. ...
