“I commute to work in Stamford, CT. I take the Metro North almost daily. Today, in light of the ‘terrorist’ threat I was greeted with the Stamford Police and other law enforcement at the top of the escalator leading from the track. They were checking for traces of explosive material. Some people were being singled out to go through a swab test[…]. My co-worker who arrives later than I do told me he was singled out for a quick swab and when he complained he was told he ‘better get used to it’ and ‘this is for our protection.'”
