Why is no one talking about this ? NYPD releasing gas in subways

I just don't see the issue here.

Why shouldn't the run drills to see how a released gas would spread through the subway system? Maybe they are testing venting to see if they can clear the gas if an attack occurred.

I just don't get why people get freaked out about police trying to prepare for terrorist attacks.

Who doesn't trust Brookhaven Labs?

They actually did this exact same test in the Boston subway system a few months ago. Google it.

Don't worry, though. DHS have given themselves the legal (color of law) authority to kill you with a chemical or biological weapon. Don't believe it?

It's strange that they're testing for a whole month and that they're testing from 8am until 8pm when they could be testing during less traveled times of 8pm until 5am. Is it conditioning? It's too bad the New Yorkers are tolerable to these activities. I'm glad I don't live in NY as well.

getting everybody hoped on on god knows what for god knows what.

This might have something to do with it.


Or maybe this.

A fictional “scenario” of multiple bomb attacks on London’s underground took place at exactly the same time as the bomb attack on July 7, 2005. Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, a private firm on contract to the London Metropolitan Police, described in a BBC interview how he had organized and conducted the anti-terror drill, on behalf of an unnamed business client. The fictional scenario was based on simultaneous bombs going off at exactly the same time at the underground stations where the real attacks were occurring
