<p>[quote user="CSSHEGEWISCH"]</p> <p>After following this and several other threads, I've been dismayed by the adversial reactions of multiple forum members to the actions and reports of the National Transportation <span style="color:#ff0000;">Safety <span style="color:#000000;">Board. The role of the NTSB is that of accident prevention and the promotion of safe operation in various transport modes. It has little to no enforcement power and its reports are not admissible in court. It has no axe to grind and judging by the reactions on this forum, is not afraid to ruffle feathers.</span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Why is safety so controversial??</span></span>[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I don’t think anybody is opposed to safety. Certainly no railroaders are opposed to safety. And because nobody can be opposed to safety, it can encourage opportunistic overreach in the name of safety. I think some railroaders are wary of that especially if it entails a sort of “big brother” intrusiveness into their private lives in a way that can threaten their employment. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">For instance, the unions on behalf of workers, do not want inward facing cameras because they worry that the personal information might be used unfairly. The NTSB does want them in the name of safety. How do you feel about inward facing cameras? </span></p> <p> </p>
