In regards to Amtrak, TSA does routine ViPR missions at Union Station and BWI (cannot comment on the other stations, as I don't use New Carrolton or Alexandria on a regular basis) (yes, they do not involve WBI, but they do involve paramilitary Amtrak police operations and random bag searches with TSA participation).
Yup, WAS appears to be one of the toughies. We'll either want to put disclaimers on these airports, or remove them entirely with a discussion of which gates at the main airports are safe...for now.

I do follow Amtrak a bit; I've heard of WAS and NCR receiving occasional TSA activity. Didn't know about BWI; thanks for that tidbit.
