Checkpoint Charlies can be forgiving

Chris tweets that there was a security checkpoint at South Station this evening, he declined to answer any of their questions, but they let him through anyway.

Good for him

I have yet to be caught up in this security theater and good for him.

he doesn't say they let him

he doesn't say they let him through, he says they let him "on his way". (i.e. not on the T, in my view)

What time did this happen?

The Twitter page says "about 5 hours ago from mobile web" which is not at all helpful. (5 hours ago when?)

I passed through South Station around 4:45 pm this afternoon and did not see any security checkpoint then.

That's five hours before the time you called up the page.

Twitter Standard Time

but why doesn't it give an exact time in hh:mm or hh:mm:ss format, like every other blogging system?

Actually, Drupal also has that "time ago" feature, but it's easy enough to turn off.
