London.

I don't feel like I really have anything to add to the the discussions that I'm sure are to come about the terrorist attacks on London, except to say that this is a horrible tragedy and I am truly sorry for the people of London. However, knowing the history of London during the Blitz, my instinct is that the people who did this attack should have read their history books a little bit closer because I don't think that these attacks will have their intended effect. It just may do the opposite.

On a personal note, not generally being a person given over to panic, I have to admit that this morning's news did not make for happy T-riding. Especially when I realized the the MBTA's version of stepping up security was to incessantly play it's "See Something, Say Something" campaign announcements in Government Center station and for T drivers to keep asking people to "please take all their belongings." Ummm. That's all well and good, but how about some real, actual security MBTA? I did not see any MBTA police in Maverick or Government Center this morning. I didn't really expect to see any at Maverick, but I figured Government Center, being literally under City Hall, might get a little bit of extra security this morning. Silly me.
