. . . You've got to be half-crazy to even do something like this given all the third rails, cameras, and security of the Metro. . .
Here is a dirty little secret that most are not aware of. WMATA's property outside of the station entrances, mezzanines and platform have nothing more then a chain link fence securing their right of ways and yards. There are no cameras or regular foot patrols along their right of ways or in the yards. As to the issue with the third rail, one can safely move around within close proximity of the third rail without getting electrocuted.
