Dr. F:

I saw six or seven time lapse VCR's arriving at a DC Metro
station yesterday.  When I asked the tech pushing the cart
"Big Brother's here?"  - he concurred. I guess this is one
of the ""security improvements"" we are getting.

So now every passenger gets recorded. As you know yourself,
the Metro is the transport system nexus of the region. I have to
wonder how long it will be before divorce attorneys start issuing
subpoenas for Metro tapes.
