I guess they figure nuclear dirty bombs can't fit into them. Or something. They taped the garbage cans shut, but the receptacles for empty pet bottles next to all the vending machines are still open.

I don't think it was there yesterday. Either that or I didn't notice it. There are so many "heightened security" signs everywhere since 9/11 that I don't pay attention to them anymore. Until yesterday, I had never seen any extra security measures other than the signs themselves. Where did they come up with so many policemen all of the sudden? Do they have them stacked away in a warehouse somewhere plugged into chargers, ready to be switched on at a moment's notice? I can't imagine there are enough police boxes in Tokyo to house them.

There have been posters up in just about every train station in Tokyo and Yokohama for the past month explaining the additional security measures to be taken. I've even seen English versions of the poster up in Tokyo Metro stations. (Oddly, the English version went up a few days before the Japanese version at Waseda station - I have no idea why.)
