"It's in limbo." Translation: "We'll slip in through when the furor has died down and nobody's looking. After it's been passed, you won't be able to do squat about it, suckers!"

Will people now excercise their right to take photos on the subway and on platforms? No.

Now, if only the MTA would convince the cops that there's no ban "for now." Cops hate cameras anyway, and continue to stop photographers no matter what the rule is. They should be told what's legal or illegal regarding photography in the trains and stations. Would any cops care to comment?
