Bikes, not bombs

=v= Today's Contra Costa Times has a cheery report that the (San Francisco) Bay Area Rapid Transit system is helpfully preparing for a peace rally crowd for this Sunday's antiwar protest in San Francisco. BART will be selling "flash passes" to speed things up.

My inner privacy activist tells me to inform people that if they use ATM or credit cards to buy flash passes — or round trips converted to flash passes — BART will have data on probable protesters which they must by law give to the Office of Homeland Security upon request.

My inner bike activist was alarmed at the part about bikes being banned from East Bay/San Francisco BART between 10:00am and 6:00pm that day. I bike to these protests as a quiet statement against oil wars.
