Hidden City Philadelphia brings us a really interesting, brief slide show of SEPTA’s command center. I knew we had one of these, but I was really surprised to learn that ours was the only one. I was positive that DC and NYC at least would have had them.
HCP ends the article with this:
In practical terms, the compromise between openness and security works like this. I’m not allowed to say where the nerve center is, but I am allowed to photograph it.
Well, OK, fair enough. I wonder what the comments section has to say about that?
That’s okay – we’ll just ask the mayor of it on Foursquare.

Or hey – you could ask the engineering club!
Um, SEPTA security guys? You may want to rethink your strategy a bit. I hear there are a few really bright Secret Service agents that suddenly have a lot of free time, maybe they can help you out.
