Thank you for the first-hand report. This is a little unnerving. The power of the internet is demonstrated everytime the TRUTH escapes from the clutches of the media.
Only if it's the TRUTH, and not our Insider Troll, who spends her life trying to pretend she's somebody.
The part about "they didn't do anything with my luggage" is what tripped the alarm for me. I ride the trains all the time, and "they" don't ever "do anything" with luggage.
You have to present ID now when you buy a ticket. Which doesn't happen on the train anymore, anywhere in the Northeast Corridor between Boston and DC. They will no longer sell you a ticket on board, unless you got on at one of the few stations without a ticket office. That's been the case since January 1.
If she's claiming that she got on the train outside the Northeast Corridor, and no one asked for her ticket during all those hours, well-- I can think of three explanations for that, but two of them wouldn't reflect well on Terrilynne. ;D
