yrs right exactly, which is why I wouldn't think to look for it in the security section of the website. They say it is because the litter might be hiding security risks, causing delays, but I think that is BS. The actual wording is Do not bring ANY food or beverages on CTA vehicles. The inspection of litter will cause delays to service. (Inspection of litter?) I think they couldn't think of anyplace else to list the rules, so they stuck it in the security section where no one would think to look. So not only did I make a fool of myself but I broke the rules as well, or maybe I made a fool of myself as a result of breaking the rules. Something like that. Like adding insult to injury. I'm both an outlaw and an idiot. Well clearly it's a good rule. The CTA is very clean compared to other systems.
