[:-^]Well, back to terrorism concerns! Commuter Rail/ Subway are the concern. All those who feel that it is a Homeland Security/Federal issue and not local, consider this! If a train is targeted, (let's say a Metra in Chicago) the impact of that incident will only be in Chicago. If its on Amtrak, still only possible places that can be impacted are along that line! Both of these cases support the idea that these are State or local issues! Remember the constitution and LIMITED government. <br />Airlines are the exception. Here's why. If an airplane is the target, it can be flown anywhere (as long as ther's enough fuel!) Even across borders! Ever stop to think about Mexican Airliners and cities like San Diego or El Paso? Here you need the Feds. And probably some F-15s!! As has been said, terrorism is about the biggest possible strike by the most shocking means. From crashing a plane full of people into a building to torturing a wheelchair-bound 80 year old cruise ship passenger and then dumping him overboard.
