I'm not saying that drilling folks not to go into a tunnel isn't a good thing, and most things they say make sense - MOST of the time
I'm just saying that it puts the ridership in the "just sit there, listen to your iPod, and read a book, and you'll be OK" mindset, and that anything else is "anal"
I know the folks on the train I was on during the blackout were happy I had a flashlight (Got lucky, my train was actually IN Times Square Station)
