The police are looking for a subway bandit along the 4 and 6 lines in the Bronx. Brian Ballard was identified in a photo lineup as the man who have robbed at least five people in January and February, concentrating in the Melrose section, between 138th and 149th Streets. He has a gun in the stickups (his haul has been money and an iPod), but has only used it to threaten or hit people, and has commited the crimes at all times of day. Does anyone who ride the subway in that area know if the police have increased their presence there?

person on board. Apparently Ballard had inquired about buying a ticket earlier, but didn't, simply receiving "an itinerary on paper stock similar to what is used for boarding passes" and somehow got past security with it. What? So that means he didn't even have a ticket at the gate, just the itin thing! What is going on? American Airlines will be fined $25,000 while Ballard was charged with criminal trespass. We expect that we'll need official tickets (that say "TICKET") on them when we try to even get to security.
