Wow! DHS To Release Bacteria In Boston Subway System !!!
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will be releasing bacteria into the MBTA tunnels to test the safety of the subway.

The DHS has installed sensors in the MBTA system to detect biological agents and they’ve been testing to see how the air moves.

Now they want to release particles in the tunnels to see how well the sensors work.

From your link...

Federal officials say they test the subway sensors by releasing dead bacteria called B-subtilis. They say it is used in food supplements, has been rigorously tested and has no adverse health effects for low exposure in healthy people.

LOL, we'll see how long it is before something screws up...

 Quoting: Laura Bow


The innumerable deaths and illnesses that occurred as a result underscore the fact that trusting the Department of Homeland Security, which has proven itself to be one of the most corrupt and secretive federal agencies in existence, to carry out such tests in public, no matter how “safe” the DHS claims them to be, is the height of stupidity.

Hidden history of US germ testing

Fifty years ago, American scientists were in a frantic race to counter what they saw as the Soviet threat from germ warfare. Biological pathogens they developed were tested on volunteers from a pacifist church and were also released in public places.

Yep..I'm trying to look up whatever that bacteria is but I am SO TIRED today that it's hard for me to concentrate. I'm sure they have anther motive here anyway...or is it going to be "Oops! We didn't mean to switch the "non-harmful" good bacteria with this airborne Ebola!"

Subway experiment

But it wasn't just the white coat volunteers and sailors who were subject to experiments. Scientists used what they thought was a harmless simulant in major bio-weapon tests across US cities and on public transport.

It was a bacteria which they believed was harmless but which would mimic the dispersal of deadly biological agents such as anthrax.

But later research showed that the strain of Bacillus globigii, or BG, did pose a risk to people who were ill or whose immune system was failing.

I think people can relax on this one. There is bacteria in all air you breath. They are ubiquitous in our environment. B. subtlis is non-pathogenic.

hmm..not too long ago those scientists had announced they weaponized H1N1 hmm
"The sick individual finds himself at home with all other similarly sick individuals. The whole culture is geared to this kind of pathology. The result is that the average individual does not experience the separateness and isolation the fully schizophrenic person feels. He feels at ease among those who suffer from the same deformation; in fact, it is the fully sane person who feels isolated in the insane society — and he may suffer so much from the incapacity to communicate that it is he who may become psychotic"..Erich Fromm

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7129668


The subway is the T. The T is used to describe the commuter rail and the subway, although both are considered part of the T. The spots at which they say they are releasing the bacteria is the subway. I ride subway in Boston reguraly. My stop for work is a couple stops before the spot in Somerville they say the bacteria is going to be released. Think I may drive to work more often this summer.
