The DHS presence at the CTA stop on Tuesday was that of the (at-times controversial) Visible Intermodal Prevention & Response personnel (VIPR), which falls under TSA's expanded purview, Thomas Kelly, of Homeland Security's Office of the Director/Public Affairs, confirmed. VIPR is deployed in concert with local police departments "in a random and unpredictable manner" as means of deterring terrorism, according to the TSA

Chicago's unsolved murder rate is at 72%. DHS should help Chicago police bring that down.

ok but bus stops? really? a half ass effort with no impact there's a better way to go about it like establishing a presence in the highest crime area's it's already known where that is....and who might be suspect.
Kinda like you don’t rob the doughnut shop at 4am when there are 5 cruisers in the parking lot.

Naw, screw this. I rather be safe with homeland there.
I rather them go thru my things and others so that no dangers are preset.
We live in a free society and do what we want, but when it gets to a point where violence is common place, it only means a society of deginerates who care nothing for the law. After a threshold is hit, bring in more power and temper the society.
I could care less about my 4th in these instancea, I know for a fact that they aren't violatong it for nefarious reasons.

Maybe there was some credible chatter that was either too vague or early stage recruiting to discuss? Or maybe making a presence known to squash early chatter for something?
