It DOES indeed! *BRAVO!* You spotted the loony! :)To go back to the "chain of command" issues here - DHS wants risks lowered - NYS Department of Homeland Security (yes, there REALLY IS ONE, part of SEMO and NYSP) passed along guidelines, NYPD got a hardon and here we are. LEGITIMATELY, what they really want is "access control" here. This can be accomplished by having a handy database of what they really call "railfans" among law enforcement agencies ("loose wingnuts") with photographs of them (they prefer fingerprints, but that's a hard sell) of what was always called in the military "IFF" ("Identified Friend or Foe") ... Yeah, that WOULD work. The kids might not LIKE it, but that WOULD make everybody who's in a position to CONTROL happy I would expect. GOOD JOB! GREAT fallback position! |
