Many of the physical "security" barriers that were even errected pre
September 11 are an eyesore and don't really do much. But an
unobtrusive

Of course. Since the fools at Metro can't even stop parking lot
thieves... We're pretty much just all screwed. Your best bet is a
concealed firearm and a communication device that is not reliant on
civilian wireless networks.
