I almost can't believe what's happening here. While it's understandable the MBTA would be concerned the students might be malicious with their findings, it seems that taking them to court is a bit excessive.

jessica: that's just naive. the MBTA has been caught with a crappy system and it will be very expensive to fix. the natural (and cost-effective) reaction is to shoot the messenger and burn the message. problem solved. this is just the legal version of how one accomplishes that.
of course, it won't work because the exploits and analysis will leak out (or someone else will redo the same analysis) because the problems are there and will not go away. but for the bureaucrat who staves off that day even for a little while with a bit of legal maneuvering, call it a win.

Todd, I completely agree with you and I understand what the MBTA is doing and why they are doing it. I just think it's ridiculous. Instead of spending money and time on fixing the problem, they're basically harassing the students.
