Oh NO! What if those photos got into the "wrong hands." A terrorist--a member of a "sleeper cell"--could take a photo of the train, and he or she could easily FORWARD the photo to others in the network. They can send photos through email or text messages INSTANTLY. They could post photos of Amtrak trains on WEB SITES for crying out loud!
I'm calling Dateline to blow the whistle on this gaping loophole in our homeland's security.
I hope that everyone will follow my lead by looking down towards the ground when a train passes; I don't want to have the sight of the train cross my retina, just in case an evidoer goes into my optic nerve and steals the image.
