I thought these were still somewhat of a rarity...but then again, I
don't ride the trains. Have these become the norm now?

>and why are there all those posters telling women to complain
>if they are molested?

Ummm.....Because 1) so many of them don't 2) it's easier than putting
forth an active police presence and 3) gives the impression that
something is being done about the problem?

If that ain't the answer, then I'm stumped.
