Don't you know it's against MTBA's regulations to take pictures without a photo permit?
(contrary to popular belief this was implemented before 911 but IMO should be repealed nonetheless)

I Love Big Brother, who is the war against this week?
Next time a FTer refuses to take their shoes off, to heck with the Metro cops, he's calling the Thought Police to correct that attitude permanently.

A bit offtopic - visited Boston late in late may. I decided to get the permit (it wasn't a hassle. I decided to do it to avoid a hassle.) I was hassled by EVERY SINGLE T employee requesting me to show the darn thing even when I wasn't on T property. London was MUCH better.
