Government warns of terror threat to trains

In a bulletin released Friday to U.S. law enforcement officials, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is warning of “continued strong terrorist interest” in targeting mass transit systems in the U.S. The 10-page threat assessment, obtained by NBC News, cautions that the “U.S. mass transit and passenger rail systems are vulnerable to terrorist attacks because they are accessible to large numbers of the public and are notoriously difficult to secure.”……

They expect Americans to tolerate ever tighter security and surveillance. To accept that you must show your papers before getting on a plane or train, before crossing a state line, and at any other random time and place.
