My point is, the assailant attacked a person on the train, but could just have easily have gotten off the bus and attacked anyone, regardless of what other neighborhoods that person had gone through. It's pretty easy for a person to carry a knife anywhere, without looking suspicious.<br /><br />It would have been different if, God forbid, they set off a bomb, which would have killed more people in a packed train than it would have in a less crowded place, like on the street.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840373234747823781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199205905935393822.post-85136996102959010222012-03-18T10:27:18.134-07:002012-03-18T10:27:18.134-07:00Shalom!

When one is in such an environment it is much more difficult to maneuver and avoid an assailant. While walking it is also possible to choose a route that will not pass through the Arab neighborhoods. Those dependent on public transportation are being forced to pass through neighborhoods they probably would rather avoid. It is my understanding that buses do not run on the same routes as the trains, which brings me to comparing their security arrangements. A better comparison to the light-rail and the sidewalk is the light-rail and the bus. Bus drivers see each and every passenger who boards a bus and are required to check suspicious passengers. This does not happen on the train.<br />Stating "it could have happened on the street" is a rather flippant way of treating a serious security issue.Hadassanoreply@blogger.com
