[Ghoulish Delight]

As overboard as airline "security" has become, the last time I traveled by Amtrak I was shocked at how little security there was. Namely, zero. No metal detectors, no baggage screening, you were actively encouraged to leave your bags unattended. And this was post-Madrid bombing.

I don't know whether to be shocked that there hasn't been an incident involving a train yet, or extra annoyed at the airport kabuki because there hasn't been an incident involving a train yet.
