Reblogged from Montgomery County Civil Rights Coalition:
Anyone who's used the Metro for any length of time practically knows it by heart --two little chimes, followed by this announcement by Metro Transit Police Chief Michael Taborn:
The Metro Transit Police will be performing random inspections of carry-on items throughout the Metro system...
Now everyone else can listen in too, thanks to the magic of digital recording devices and the tedium of switching one on every time I went into the Metro for weeks on end -- except when I forgot to, which was invariably when the announcement would play.
Looking for video creativity here -- we're hoping videographers will make counter-announcements using the WMATA random bag search announcements played over the PA system on the DC subway system. We provide one example, but we think you can do better!
