Rail also doesn't have taxiing time, takeoff/landing time nor baggage time. And no seat belts. I love it, but I also understand much of America is located farther apart than other countries. Yet, we should prepare for denser days.

True, hostage-taking is generally not a risk on rail (Pelham 1-2-3 aside), but HSR is just as tempting a target for terrorism. Imagine a detonation that derails an HSR from elevated rail, at speed, in an urban setting.
