Well, one thing about the travel in time thing, Eistein had proven it in theory many years ago that it's possible, it's just a matter of time!  ;-)[quote user="Agamemnon"] I would imagine they'd have several layers of security for military transports, things like armed guards in the train itself, local PDs securing areas where the shipment would go near urban centers (making sure no railfans with their cameras breach the security perimeters, that osrt of thing). I wouldn't be surprised if the DOD had access to satellite coverage for the train as well. Even the route selected for the train would be chosen with security criteria in mind.And even if you could hijack a train, where would yo go? A train that size can't be hidden from view (and you can be damn sure it's fitted with GPS), the military could mobilize any amount of countermeasures, right up to blowing up the tracks in front of you (it'd be a disastrous wreck, sure, but that might be the lesser of two evils). There's an occasional hubbub in Europe about nuclear waste trains, which have pretty much all of the above security measures in place. They're also driven very slow, to lessen the risk of accidents and ensuring the security net keeps up every step of the way. I'd imagine they drive local dispatchers and engineers barmy by messing up timetables, too. Sure, it's been done in the movies, but then again, so's travelling in time. [/quote]
