Dang, this is eerily beginning to sound like the game of Clue.
 
if the train was a monorail, id have a bunch of one-liners
 
Feds have already probably sniffed out this thread and our putting some of you freaks on their radar.
 
Last time I flew I got an extra special pat down. I think it was because I brought an Arabic dictionary with me through security. A friend of mine gave me the dictionary just before I left for the airport. He knew I liked to study and read about languages and I think he felt guilty he wasn't able to pay me some money he borrowed from me years ago. I thought about just leaving the book in my pocket going through security, but this airport had those full body X-Ray machines. Anyway I'm probably on some list now or something.
 
Oh yeah the last time I took Amtrak the conductor was a prick.
 
I applaud Amtrak for not jumping on the fear train.

Nice to know there's still a mode of mass transit that allows you to retain your dignity.
 
Great, now you're just giving the terrorists ideas ABM....

Nice, real nice.

What, that they failed to check my id, nor scan my luggage?

Riiight.

If I were a terrorist, I'd go with one of these. Size of a credit card, fits in my wallet.

Except....

a) He never asked me for any ID at any point
b) He trusted that the name I gave was good. In other words, anyone could have paid for and printed out the ticket and given to me
c) Nobody ever checked my luggage. The Christmas package and/or my luggage could have contained a bomb. No problemo

I have NO idea as to why the security was so lax. It was rather concerning as I processed that whole ordeal and the trip home.

No offense, but have you looked in the mirror lately? ABM is the definition of harmless looking dude. :)

Riiight.

Both. Neither will protect you from anything. Both increase your fare, waste a chunk of your lifetime, and drain our economy dramatically.

The main reason the TSA exists is to get Americans used to submitting to authority on a regular basis, so they can be herded like domesticated animals. Hitler used the same tactics, coupled with gun control, to frighten and enslave Germany.

Not only are train bombings less frequent across the globe than nearly any form of unnatural death you could ever dream up, there's never been even one in America.
 
I'd turn Maris into a suicide bomber. Just tell him all he's really killing is police. He seems to like that.

You used to add something to the subject, but lately you've just become an unimaginative troll with a hard-on for me.

What's your issue?

The first and last one seem to be pretty universal for trains. I rode all over Europe for 10 weeks back in '05 and can't remember one time having my luggage checked. The only time I was asked for ID was going into/out of the EU. The only time I saw any sort of security in a station was in Spain, but that was just the police harassing every person who looked Moroccan or South American..or anything of color. In Japan I had a rail pass and just walked by the counter and flashed the pass and I was good to go (other than the bullet trains that need seat reservations). I'm pretty sure they only check to see if it is expired.

What type of security were you expecting?
 
i really dont feel safe unless they finger my asshole and grope every old lady on the train

feel lucky that you got to pretend we arent living in a police state for 10 minutes abm
A police state? Hyperbolize much?
 
A few months ago, I purchased a special PDX to Seattle r/t Amtrak ticket...even though I planned to get on in Vancouver, and off in Olympia. Amtrak said that was no problem. The $32 r/t ticket was cheaper than the VAN/OLY option.

Last weekend was when I used it. On the return leg, I had my luggage, plus a large paper shopping bag full of Christmas goodies. It was raining hard when they called us to board the train. I was more focused on trying to keep somewhat dry, while carefully managing the luggage and goodies.

Anyhoo, when on-board, I was able to store my luggage in on of the racks in the vestibule, but not the goodies bag. I decided I would find a seat, then figure that out later.

As everyone was finding seats and settling in, the conductor came by asking for tickets. (By the way, a "ticket" is simply what you can print out at home, then they scan the barcode with their smart phones.) I couldn't find it. I knew I had the ticket in the station, but figured it must have fallen out of my jacket when I was fumbling and bumbling scurrying to get on the train.

When it was apparent that I didn't have my ticket, a few of those around me began to "size me up" while also looking at my big bag. I can only imagine what was on their minds.

Anyway, the conductor asked me to step into the vestibule with him to get things figured out. He asked for my last name. I gave it to him. He then said that I wasn't on his "list." I'm, like, hmmmm. Then it hit me. I was "supposed" to be coming out of Seattle. I told him about the discount thing. He then re-checked and found me at that point. He then said all is well and that I could go sit down. Oh, and I found a good, safe spot in the luggage rack for my Christmas goods. All was well.

a) He never asked me for any ID at any point
b) He trusted that the name I gave was good. In other words, anyone could have paid for and printed out the ticket and given to me

What you experienced was the flip side of racial profiling. If your name was Abdul Jamaal and you had swarthy features, you would have been asked for your ID and stricter measures would have been taken.
