<p>[quote user="Sam1"]</p> <p>I have seen one or two ads by Amtrak promoting train travel as a way to avoid the airpoort hassles associated with flying. I cannot remember whether they mentioned screening, but the implication is clear.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>A while back they had ads on the bottoms of those plastic trays you put your shoes, belts, keys, etc., in, saying something like "On Amtrak, you only take off your shoes if you want to" at Chicago O'Hare airport. A pretty good ad, I think.</p> <p>Amtrak already has K-9 dogs at South Station in Boston plus the ability to pull aside and screen anyone inside a certain area, and I can imagine more security after the inevitable attempted attack on public transportation, but I can't imagine how they would get full security out of any terminal that also runs commuter rail trains. There's just TOO MANY PEOPLE and not enough space to screen them all.</p>
