As you know:
The New York City subway system has been battling this
trend for years, especially after the Sept. 11 attacks, with
dozens of sites devoted to the nation’s largest subway
system, said Paul Fleuranges, spokesman for Metropolitan
Transportation Authority. “It’s a problem,” Fleuranges said.
“They post stuff on their Web sites that we won’t even talk to
reporters about.” While most foamers tend to be “strange but
harmless,” Fleuranges said, extremely sensitive information has
appeared regularly on Web sites. “We’ve tried to [go] after them
but there are some First Amendment rights at issue here,” he
said. “A lot of the information is being gleaned from public
documents, so we have not been very successful in stopping them.”
