[quote user="Phoebe Vet"] By what possible line of logic do you assign the time in line to get into the quiet car to security? If you want to count the time in line at the door to the platform then you must also count the time waiting your turn at the airport gate. I do not have a disdain for flying.  I have a disdain for being treated like a criminal.[/quote] Had you read my post carefully, you would have noted that I included the wait time for the train at Union Station and the wait time at BWI.  The wait time at Union Station was longer because the persons responsible for security did not appear to have a clue about what they were supposed to do. The total wait time and hassle was much less at the airport.  Unlike Amtrak's seemingly disorganized boarding procedures at Union Station, which has passengers creating a line that snakes onto the concourse, thereby blocking the free flow of other persons on the station concourse, there was no lining up at the airport gate because all the seats are assigned in advance. Like about 15 minutes on average less. I don't know whether my experience can be extrapolated to others.  I did not do a scientific survey, i.e. valid statistical sample, which is necessary to project the results to the population within the parameters of the statistical construct.  Accordingly, I am not making any wild claims about the experience of others or the population as a whole.
