Trilby - I appreciate your comments which are always thoughtful, but do you realize what you are saying? Wouldn't much better advice be to tell people to not ride the subway and leave a city that tolerates this mayhem?

I'm always cautious (head on a swivel) but I made the decision long ago to ensure my family lives, goes to school, works, goes to church, has fun, etc. in places that are safe. I owe them (and frankly myself) this. Adopting behavior reminiscent of US Soldiers watching out for the Viet Cong just to live one's life is not normal and soul crushing.

People don't have to live like this, but it's become gradually normalized and they have become conditioned to accept it.
