The subways, now with submachine guns

I introduced you in February to the plans to bring armed security personnel into the subway. Yesterday, SUBWAYblogger saw a few of the first armed teams dispatched as part of Operation Torch, and today, the Daily News writes about rider reaction the underground submachine guns. Makeda Mays-Green summed it up: “I just got off the subway on my way to work and there are cops with big rifles. It’s pretty intimidating.” [SUBWAYblogger, Daily News]
