So I was in the 5 train this morning, and in that one subway car I see a
few long white on red stickers that say "all activities on this car may be
recorded"  I didn't go too far through the train, but I did notice the
same sticker in another car.

On a quick look around, I didn't show any cameras, but pinhole cameras
would be easy to hide.  I would have put them in the far corners of the
car somewhere near the top, and you'd probably be able to get a good look
from the round, but flat air conditioner vents, or on the glass covered
displays that state the train destination, but I didn't see cameras or any
obvious smoked glass, or holes.  (My criterial being, "Where would I put
cameras so I would limit the number to one or two per car to keep it
cheap, and still be able to see the whole car?")

Further, I didn't notice any new cables going around, and you'd probably
need lots of them to be able to record video from each car, or a VCR in
each car somewhere...  I guess the next time I'm on one of those trains,
I'll try to be where the conductor is and get a peek inside their cabin...


This is nothing earth shattering as there were cameras in the subway
system for years now, just not on the actual trains.  Still the rachet
does tighten more and more..


Anyone know if these are official, or just someone's idea of a joke?  See
them on any other subway lines?
