Cops and conductors
NYPD is getting training on what to do in case of a terror attack in the subway, but MTA workers are not. Complaints ensue.
I'm with the transit union on this one, since a track bomb is far more likely to be discovered by a maintainance crew than by a subway cop, most of whom spend their time trying to stay awake while guarding the system's under-river tunnels.
But I still have a problem with the language used here. Since when is anyone "prepared" for a terrorist attack? Obviously, there should be procedures for re-routing trains, evacuating the injured and stabalizing infrastructure to prevent additional damage, but can MTA really be prepared in the same way it can be for a forecasted snowstorm?
