This morning, as per my morning routine, I ended up at the Pentagon Metro station and I saw something a bit unexpected. Usually, it’s not uncommon above ground to see police walking around carrying submachine guns with ammo bags, but in the metro station itself, I found it odd to suddenly see someone walking around, scanning faces in the crowd, clutching a submachine gun.
Is there some alert that changed the presence of police in the stations? Anyone else notice a well armed policeman?
