Ummm - cameras on the trains? I'm not down with it. If you mean to tell me that a camera will prevent a terrorist attack then I have to laugh. There are only two things it'll do: 1. Help the Richard Clarkes out there figure out WHO did what after the fact. 2. Keep me from taking a hit on an empty train late at night...waiting for the next stop...blowing it out...taking another hit...holding it in until the next stop...you get my drift.

The French have camera everywhere now - metro platforms, street corners, radar cameras on the peripherique (highway that runs around Paris). ..though I still feel train security could be higher. And although they found another bomb on the tracks recently, the sense of relief that comes with that is mixed with a lot of fear.

now if they can only get people to stop clipping their nails on the 7 train then I'd feel my 70 dollar unlimited was money well spent...

The FRENCH?! They should really talk to the British. The London Underground has cameras everywhere. And its not just limited to the subways. Sometimes its like theres a Camera on every block.
