Someone at SubChat is spreading lies...according to the MTA. The website has a posting titled: TAs Newest $16 Million Blunder, which goes on to describe how a subway car was "reefed sometime last month, by mistake, with a sophisticated biological/radiological sensing system still hidden within the car structure." There's more about how the "prototype sensor was installed in 2005 as part of a federally funded anti-terrorism project and is housed in a waterproof–shockproof case, similar to an aircraft 'black box'" and that "retrieving the sensor is expected to be up to $16 million depending on how long it takes to locate the car" somewhere in the Atlantic, off Delaware. Wow, this sounds like the plot of what could be a great MTA-centric major motion picture blockbuster! But the buzzkills over at the MTA tell us that: "There is absolutely no truth to this internet rumor."
