Increased security on transit in Portland

Reuters and VOA (plus I'm sure many more papers) noted that US transit systems are upping the security due to the London bombings.  This is also true of the Rose City here. 

I was riding on MAX this morning in to work and noted, while pouring through Harry Potter, that no less than twice did police walk the length of the train at a stop. 

I'm not upset by the presence of Police on the trains, I did feel safer while they were there, but it slows down the stops, as they walk the length of the train and then just get back off.  And I'm not sure what they will find while just cruising the trains.
