Amtrak Goons To Lean On Riders Because Of All Those Train Hijackings

More fascist crap. This isn't being done to protect anybody. This is happening to get people used to being pushed around, being told what to do and having no privacy.

Amtrak to unveil new security including random bag screening

"WASHINGTON (AP) - Amtrak will start randomly screening passenger carry-on bags.
The Associated Press reports the new security push includes officers with automatic weapons and bomb-sniffing dogs patrolling platforms and trains
.
(...)
Anyone who's selected for screening and refuses -- won't be allowed to board. His or her ticket will be refunded."

I saw this last night and thought the same thing. Blah blah blah. Certainly if this was about protecting us from terrorist attacks, they would not have broadcasted locations nor would they have said the western states would not be monitored until later in the year.

It would be interesting to know when this is gonna happen out here and show up and observe who is pulled aside.

Right you are - just who the hell decides who gets the "special treatment" that ruins their day?

The first time you don't do what a policeman tells you to do will be the last time.
