Machine Guns On NYC Subways

08:31 H | Topics: Controversia - New York City

I ride the NYC subway system nearly everyday with children. So why do I not feel safer with the announcement that the New York City Police Department will be patrolling the major subway stations with Mp5 submachine guns, rifles, body armor and bomb-sniffing dogs? The program is called Operation Torch and this new anti-terror effort is thanks to a 50 percent increase in a Homeland Security grant. The program's complete cost? $151 million.

I feel safer already.

I remember at the airport seeing military personnel holding on in the entrance; kinda intimidating when up close and personal.
