This is a report from a New Orleans TV station about the TSA driving more people to Amtrak. This was back in November, 2010.

November, 2010 was also the last time I flew. Thankfully, my job doesn't require travel. But the one time I was asked to attend a conference out of the area, I put my foot down until they allowed me to travel by train. I've been traveling by train ever since. It hasn't been easy on my relationship since he lives 800 miles away and train travel isn't always convenient, but we're dealing with it.
