Hello to all the railfanners out there... <br /> I don't complain about much, and I'm new to the world of railfanning myself, but the article in this months Trains magazine has got me a little upset. I agree with the view most other people in the forum have--the government is going overboard with this anit-terrorim crap! Its getting so bad that people will never fly again, trains will stop rolling, and the high fuel prices will choke trucking to a halt. I enjoy all types of transportation...(mostly aviation) but the railroads interest me too, and now the U.S. government is trying to regulate that. So what do they want us to do...sit at home all day and worry about what is going on outside our doors? I understand the need for security, but you know what, if these so called "Security" agencies were doing their job prior to 9/11 we wouldn't have this mess! So much for the Constitution and all the veterans who gave their lives for freedom in this country--it is almost non-existent now. I, too am a former Marine and it saddens me to know that this country has been reduced to this new communistic democracy where the government feels they need to know everything about everybody and tells everyone what they can and can't do. I guess my children will never get to see a train, airplane, ship, or truck up close as I did when I was young...and how about the people who operate these monster machines...is the government going to evaluate every aspect of their lives (including their financial status?) I just wish we could all step back by about 20 years...when life was normal! I guess we just have to deal with all this now and get used to it. <br /> Carrick <br />
