Hi eyecue,

This is seriously old news. They did an inconsequential test at one or two rail stations just to flex the old authoritarian muscles. Rail screening will never happen, never, because it would waste a large fraction of our GDP. Right now airports swallow 90% of the TSA's budget, but there are 45,000 railway stations against only 429 airports, and that neglects much local rail and light rail. Where do you think they're going to get the money to multiply TSA's allotment by 100?!

The TSA is a big hit to the bottom line in this country already. This money loser agency can't even afford to screen air cargo or to hire enough women to have females patdown females. There is not a snowball's chance in Haiti that we'll see rail screening happen.
