Hi, Lisa. The thing is, it has seemed to me that DHS has had a hand in this since before the cell phone shutdown because 1) Spokesmen don’t usually make security decisions and Johnson’s story that it was his idea is not very credible. 2) BART management has always been more conservative than that. It’s unlikely they’d shut down cell service without consulting the state or the feds for legal first. 3) BART had a slick video ready to go within 24 hrs of the shutdown. So when did they hire those actors, lol? 4) The FCC chimed in on the issue almost immediately and when does the FCC ever get to anything in less than a week?
The stuff about the press credentials being grabbed yesterday also seems new around here but definitely reminiscent of Minneapolis where the Feds also were running parts of the show.
It’s looked to me like the feds have been in this from the shutdown on, anyway.

Has anyone asked at what point DHS became involved because I’ve wondered if the cell phone shutdown was entirely BART’s idea.
