Good Security

Spotted some good, sensible security on the DC Metro (part surface, part overhead, part underground metropolitan railway) yesterday.  Apologies for the bad picture quality, but I was trying to take the photo without getting arrested for being a terrorist (the irony)…

DC Metro Security Sign

The text reads:

Hey, is that your bag?

If you see someone leave something on a bus, in a train or station, kindly ask them “is that your bag?”.

If they don’t take it or if you see an abandoned package, please contact a Metro employee or police officer immediately.

No need to shoot someone for leaving their bag behind.  99% of the time, it’ll be a real left-behind-bag.  Treating it like that is good security.
