What I don’t get, is that every couple of days two or three PA police officers show up and search the bags of those entering the PATH train in New Jersey.

You would think that if terrorists wished to attack, they would send a scout and see if there are any police checking bags today.

What a waste of time, the government is doing such a good job protecting the border there is no way in hell anyone can bomb a stupid train. Just as Jorge, McCain are Gramnesty?

With obama promising to talk with them and mccain promising to not ‘torture’ them, well, the terrorists will have it made.

I haven’t been on a train since I took a novelty ride in grade school circa 1957-1963 and don’t know anybody who has.

We are headed to a rebellion, I’m afraid.

Actually, I’m afraid if we are not.

Yeah, but LA does have mass transit...from across the border.

You honestly believe that they aren't already doing so?

I’ve noticed more police walk throughs on the mass transit I use the past few weeks. Even at night. Definitely looking for suspicious items on the trains.

I don’t know about you, but I would love to take a train through the Rocky Mountains.

However, the authors of the intelligence analysis make clear that there are no known, immediate dangers. “

And they won't until some train falls into a canyon somewhere, or they blow up a tunnel so that the mountain falls on the train and the people in it.

They're saving the dirty bombs for y'all. But that's OK, we Texans are saving the expanding bullets for them. (No Hague Convention for Terrorists)

I had a short grade school train ride about that same time. But then in High School we took a train to the state basketball finals. We took the train in '66 and I think '67. In '68 the finals were held in our city, because of the potential for riots associated with the MLK assassination around our original venue in the "Big City". (Ours was second largest in the state and the capital city).

If every body is waiting for that, it might be a long wait.
