[quote user="BaltACD"] [quote user="Sam1"]   Over the past year I witnessed two unruly passengers on Southwest.  The crew put them down quickly. In similar situations on Amtrak, the crew was very slow to react if they intervened at all. It is as if the Amtrak crew is afraid of creating a scene. <div style="clear:both;">[/quote]</div> The Amtrak trains that are handled on my territory will discharge one to two passengers a week into the hands of local police - what threshold they have for making that decision I don't know. [/quote] I am not sure where your territory is located.  If the Texas coppers get involved, they don't mess around with the bad guys. Readers may remember that last year the Dallas coppers had a shoot out on the Texas Eagle and killed an unruly passenger.  Turns out he had pulled a gun, which is a very bad idea when Texas police want to have a little chat.  I believe he and his lady friend were carrying drugs, which is an equally bad idea in Texas, unless your one of the hundreds of meth lab operators in east Texas, where practically anything goes. I have also witnessed the U.S. Border Patrol pull passengers off the Sunset Limited in Alpine, TX. In one of the instances that I observed the bad guy was not cooperative and the border coppers had to chase him half way through town before they brought him down. The folks I am talking about on Amtrak are the ones who sprawl over two or three seats, especially in the lounge car, engage in loud conservations, usually laced with an impressive array of four letter words, and show total disdain for their fellow passengers.
