Boston.com reported that the federal government will begin releasing bacteria at Red Line MBTA stations in Cambridge and Somerville at set times today, August 29, 2012 to test sensors designed to detect biological agents that could be released in a terrorist attack.
Read the whole story here:

"DHS and the MBTA held a public meeting in Cambridge in May to discuss the tests, and said that there was no known threat of a biological attack on subway systems in the Boston area or elsewhere, but the systems are vulnerable to such a strike."
So, because the threat does not exist, the Department of Homeland "Security" is going to put citizens in harms way to make some money selling these unneeded measures in cities across the country!
