Supreme Court nominee involved in WMATA french fry fracas

High court nominee John Roberts upheld the arrest of a 12-year-old who violated the law by eating a french fry within the Metrorail system.

On the one hand, I say arrest the clowns who eat on the Metro. As Metro says, it's the law for a good reason. On the other hand, there would also be a lot less garbage in the Metro if the agency would put trash cans back on the platforms--and this would generate a lot less negative publicity than arresting people for eating does.

It amazes me how terrorism has caused such fear in people that we think it worthwhile to deprive ourselves of something as basic as a garbage can.
