DC Metro to Add Surveillance Cameras to System | Security Management
The agency's board voted Thursday to accept $27.8 million in grants from the Department of Homeland Security to pay for cameras. Most of the money will put more cameras on buses, in ventilation shafts, at station entrances and near the end of platforms over the next few years. Just more than $7.1 million is set aside to surveil passengers inside rail cars -- something that is done in other cities but that continues to trouble some privacy advocates. the cameras will also allow operators to watch for suspicious behavior that may indicate preoperational terrorist planning or worse.
Cameras were vital to piecing together what transpired after the 2004 Madrid train bombing and the 2005 London attacks against its metro system, said Greg Hull, director of security and operations for the industry group, American Public Transportation Association .
Privacy expert Jay Stanley of the American Civil Liberties Union, however, is uncomfortable with cameras inside public transportation, calling it "intimate space."
Delinksi doesn't agree with Stanley's description of Metro space, telling the Post riders have no reasonable expectation of privacy while riding public transport.

I am all for using the money to install cameras on the metro transit system in the DC area. This should have been done right after the London Bomb attacks on their "tube" system. My parents were staying in a hotel one block from where this London attack on public transit occurred. That being said, there is NO MENTION WHATSOEVER IN THIS ARTICLE ABOUT ANY CAMERAS BEING INSTALLED WHERE THEY WOULD MAKE AN EVEN MORE RELEVANT CONSTANT DAILY IMPACT ON PUBLIC SAFETY: FIXATED ON THE TRAIN AND BUS OPERATORS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT TEXTING OR READING A BOOK AND SO ON! These people in the transit system have got it so wrong on this one...US Faces Hurdles Growing Afghan Force, Report Says
Oct. 2 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. faces “major” hurdles in increasing Afghanistan’s police and army, including a “significant” challenge to improving the army’s ability to move supplies and maintain equipment, according to the Pentagon inspector general.
Other obstacles include “insufficient leadership capabilities” and “systemic” corruption and shortages of communications, howitzers, mortars and training ranges, said the 210-page assessment delivered to lawmakers today.
The report outlines the difficulties of increasing Afghanistan’s police and army as President Barack Obama weighs the U.S. strategy in the war. Army General Stanley McChrystal , the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, met earlier today with Obama aboard Air Force One in Copenhagen and White House spokesman Robert Gibbs later told reporters the discussion was “very productive.”
In a report to Defense Secretary Robert Gates , McChrystal recommended sending more U.S. troops while expanding the Afghan army and police force, on an accelerated timetable, to about 400,000 from a planned 230,800.
