I took a lot of Greyhound trips in the later 1970s. The police did patrol Greyhound stations--I had a memorable wait in Detroit of three hours or so, during which I saw someone hauled out in handcuffs about every half hour. I met quite a few people on the bus that I would not care to associate with, some who didn't really seem sane, but none I can think of who made life miserable. There was a baby on one bus who cried all the daylight hours and at least third of the dark hours for about 1200 miles, and he or she did make it hard to sleep. But I don't think a TSA-style check would have screened out the baby. [edit: duration of stop in Detroit]
