Actually, train stations in India have had announcements about suspicious packages as standard fare for decades now. I've read other discussions and it seems that a social solution is the best way to tackle this. Technology can augment the effort, but in the end it is up to people. Complete reliance on technology will probably fail. @Jennifer: Yea, it's terrible. The situation in that area remains quite bad. Let's see how it goes. @karmagroovy: That’s true.

With that many people commuting everyday there is no way that you can effectively screen that many passengers. NYC has 3 million passengers per day and the best NYPD can do is random bag checks. Really the only thing we can do is to be vigilant and aware of our surroundings and be ready to report anything that looks suspicious.
