"By request of the _______ Administration..."
One guaranteed chuckle that I get every time I ride on the NEC, is the announcement upon leaving WAS or NYP about random ID check and signing your Tickets.

Some of the administrations that the onboard staff has announced as requiring ID to be shown on request include:

Transportation Security Administration
Transit Security Administration
Federal Railroad Administration
Federal Security Administration

I'll post back on Thursday when I get another annoucement. What other "administrations" have your Amtrak crews claimed mandate ID checks / signing the ticket?

For a while, I was just hearing "the administration," which to me sounded like either "the management" or a reference to the White House. Now I don't even hear it anymore -- the announcement just blends into the background.

I have heard both the FBI and the Dept. of Homeland Security.

I haven't heard that one personally, but I wouldn't be surprised!
