The Los Angeles County Metro is the first public transit system in the U.S. to deploy Thruvision, a passive screening technology that scans commuters for weapons and explosives. The system uses terahertz waves to see through clothing without exposing individuals to radiation. Concerns are raised regarding the potential health effects of terahertz frequencies and the invasive nature of the low-resolution "naked" body scans.

Los Angeles transit officials conduct "Operation Independence," a high-visibility anti-terrorism drill at Union Station featuring officers in full combat gear and night vision goggles. Authorities describe the drill as a message to "would-be troublemakers" and a response to "complacency" in the public. The hosts characterize the display of force as a form of domestic fascism intended to frighten citizens.
