Toll collectors get flak vests
In San Fransisco, they must be worried about the toll collectors for the Golden Gate Bridge:
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Toll collectors at San Francisco's landmark Golden Gate Bridge have been issued body armor to guard against armed bandits.
"We did a review of safety procedures and added this tool to the toll box for collectors," bridge authority spokeswoman Mary Currie said Tuesday. "This is really the right thing to do."
I'm not so sure Ms. Curry's heart is really in it, though:
"The folks that are wearing them are pleased to have that added psychological edge," said Curry.
Hmmm - next time I need a psychological edge - like when TB and I can't agree on what channel to watch - I'll know what to wear.
