Window dressing at the Kiev station
Yesterday, President Dmitry Medvedev unexpectedly visited the capital Kiev railway station. I do not know if he had to fend off the sellers of roses, but, judging by the reaction, I liked it, not all. Especially security.

A day later, I decided to check how it is with the security at the station today. As it turned out, the measures were adopted. Installed a metal detector, the attentive staff of the station and police security forces inspect belongings of passengers.
When entering the storage compartment or in the waiting room is, in general, is not a problem: the passenger traffic there is relatively small, the frame at the entrance to the ticket office immediately created serious turn. Indeed, imagine - you're in a hurry for a train ticket barely have time to buy, and then begins: "Put the bag here, remove all metal out of your pockets and what you have here and there"?
Irritation many customers Railways can understand. While not very clear how to check things at the entrance to a relatively small ticket hall can solve a potential terrorist threat: memory pops up an explosion at the entrance to the festival "Wings" in Tushino - were there too, and the scope, and careful monitoring, which failed to prevent the tragedy , suicide bombers blew themselves up in a queue at the entrance.
Yes, and it is clear that vigilance decreases with time: it is impossible to be constantly on the alert. So, understanding the need for action, it is difficult to avoid the impression that we are dealing with yet another polemic in response to the overbearing shout, which over time will come to naught. God grant that it was not so.
