[quote user="snagletooth"]   O.K., I'll give you that. I remember that one. the gov. should have done more on that. Shoulbd have blown him apart. But it was unloaded. That's probably ( In my opinion, and incorrectley) why they didn't do more to stop him and left it up to the county. We are talking about "hijacking" a whole train, not "stealing" one piece of equiptment. there is a difference. Does anyone think that , excuse me i've forgetten their names right now, they could "hijack" a GP38-2 in Mo. or Ark. and run it to Chicago without someone saying something? And that's without gov. cargo.!! I've seen Spent nuclear rods come through Aurora, and yes it was one cop clearing the platforms, but I,ve seen the military escort on the train (from afar)  and it was not people easily beaten. And it would be quickly notified if some one tried. You would not get very far  I guess what everyone is missing is the chicken[censored] attitude of most teroist. they don't attack hard (I.E. strong military targets), but civilian targets, to get the government to concede because the public is now afraid, which is against Europeane and North American Rules Of War. They have no rules of war. War is a way of life, to be passed on. They still remember the crusades. The crusades was a reaction to an invasion by the Mores and Islamics of southern Euope and, most importanly of Jerusalim( which I believe belongs to the Jews).  I don't remeber what US general said it, but. The key to victorie is understanding your enemies sight of the war. It doesn't matter how we see the world, it's understanding how they see things  (wether right or wrong)  that will start disscussions to true peace.[/quote]Thank you for agreeing and I also agree with what you said about terrorists...Terrorists are cowards but what they are trying to do is exactly what they want; to strike at the heart of a nation by inflict fear amonst its people and in turn destroy our way of life.  That's why we should take even more caution on everything, NOT just ban anything like guns and sale of knives (Australia going this path, for example, your kid cannot buy a Exacto for school project unless you also go and buy it for him or her) etc. (BTW, business and first class still serving meals with metal knives) or even ridicule cetain ethnic community within the society.  Without this getting into a political debate, I think excercise extreme caution is the way to go and not think 'No way!' or have the 'That's imposible' attitude because I hope everyone all can learn the lessons in history.I also just want to say that I actually classify cowards as terrorists as well, you know the ones who calls up and hangs up or don't say anything?  You got something to say then say it!  But I also don't condone mucho slug-it-out with anything either, because for what???  It's just what it is, a difference in opinion and wars had started with that.  We got enough crap to worry about in today's scoiety with your own life like paying the credit cars bills with trains etc. LOLSo, take every step carefully in life, take note of things around you, think before you say or act and try to resolve any indiferences with a peaceful solution and a SMILE and let's hope we all live long and prosper and may we all have fun with our trains!  :-)
