The agency that let five pounds of C-5 fly on a commercial flight is now rating railroad security:
Progressive Railroading:
TSA recognizes 17 rail, mass transit agencies' security efforts
3/6/2012
A short quote:
Among the 17 agencies that achieved the “Gold Standard” in
[TSA’s Baseline Assessment for Security Enhancement (BASE)] BASE scores last year were Amtrak, the Bi-State Development Agency (MetroLink) in St. Louis, Regional Transportation District of Denver, Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority, New Orleans Regional Transit Authority, North County Transit District, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, TSA officials said in a prepared statement.
I hope Amtrak got extra credit for kicking TSA off its property!
