Bike Lane Repainters: "We're Self-Hating Jewish Hipsters"
Ooh, those subway crews outfitting things at subway tunnel entrances may not be performing regular ol' maintenance work - they might be installing the new laser systems for the MTA. Why lasers? To prevent trespassers from entering - and we guess that includes trespassers who just want to pee. One laser system has been installed at one end of a subway tunnel, and the MTA is about to award a contract for the installation of another for the other side. (Is it government agency policy to have different contractors install the same technology? Sort of like triple bidding?)
The laser system will be tested and then the MTA will somehow determine if they're effective enough for the rest of the system. We wonder if there are cameras installed as well, because what if the intruders the lasers detect are just really huge rats? As for where the test lasers are, that's a secret! And subway tunnel security is always a big topic.

another effective way to waste money.
What happens if you piss on the laser emitter?
Did anyone see the episode of Mythbusters where they had to go through some "Lasers" in order to steal an item?
In other words, waste of money.
You know what would make it completely worth it?
Attaching those lasers to ill-tempered sea bass.
Ummm...does anyone else think that lasers in the subway are a bad idea, since there is so much dust generated by the rails that will end up on the sensors? They will have so many false intrusion alerts, they'll start ignoring them.
If anyone read the articles, you would have seen they are going to test them. However, it is most likely going to fail and watching an episode of Mythbusters would have saved some money.
Forget lasers, they should install TASERS instead.
Just you wait until they add the sharks...
