Maybe tomorrow I'll try to get a snapshot of the Security guys they've
deployed at the train station. I'm kinda cautious of distracting or
annoying them, and of course I won't do it if they think it would endanger
them...but they really look like something from a movie. I'm not sure
which one looks more amusing, the flak-jacketed guy with the cool shades,
or the middle-aged guy who looks intensely self-conscious and bored, as if
he put on a silly Halloween costume and then none of the other guests
bothered to show up.

Mind you, the work these guys are doing is deadly serious, and they are
literally walking targets. This station is one that would make national
headlines, if anything happens, so it is a more-likely location than most.
So don't mistake my attitude for one of derision. Also, the guys seem to
be going out of their way NOT to be obstructive, and that's a blessing in
itself.
