Stopped by an officer in the WTC PATH station last Friday

"I was stopped by a police officer in the WTC PATH station last Friday. He refused to let me and my 20"" Dahon to get through during Rush hour. I have been commuting on and off this way since the re-openning of the WTC PATH station. This is the first time I have any trouble. I called the PATH customer service and a guy told me that as long as the bike folds, I am good to go. However, the officer kept insisting that a bike is a bike and bikes are not allowed to get into the station during rush hours. I asked him politely to talk to the PATH employee but he refused. He even told me that he won't let me go through even if I put the bike into a bag.

Does anybody know where I can find some written information to confirm that folding bikes are indeed exceptions to the PATH bicycle rule?

Thanks,
Lewis"

Looks like the cop may have been right.
