You want cynical? Recently they've been talking about how to generate money to upgrade infrastructure, especially transportation infrastructure as the highways, bridges and the T are all falling apart. I'll bet you anything they'll use this to dodge the infrastructure issue yet again. I bet that you're right that a proposed security bill will be quashed and that somehow, someone on Beacon Hill is going to end up making a fat profit out of all of this, because that's what happens in Boston.
