I've no idea how any of these measures are supposed to inhibit *suicide* bombers. http://eastbay.bcentral.com/eastbay/dailyedition.html has this to say about it: BART will increase police presence throughout its mass-transit train system, close all station rest-rooms and remove all garbage containers from the platform level as part of heightened security measures. Bay Area Rapid Transit will continue to monitor all trains in key locations, including both ends of the Transbay Tube between San Francisco and Oakland, a move that began after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the East Coast. BART also said elevators serving subway stations on the system will temporarily operate on an on-call basis, with users contacting station agents through an intercom. BART, which carries more than 330,000 commuters a day, also is urging passengers to not leave packages, suitcases or other large items on cars or trains.

They still have to try out their chemistry skills.
No bathrooms in BART stations, now. Terrorists won.
