While there might not be much value in hijacking a train, it’s still a tube full of people packed in close proximity. At the point US train travel picks up, expect to see DHS running the same kind of security checkpoints for high speed rail that they do at airports.
- ghaff 7y agoWhether it's the same type/degree of security as airports, which likely adds very little over basic scanning, it wouldn't take a lot for calls to have long distance train travel institute the same level of security as is common at concerts, government buildings, some libraries/museums, etc.
