Police Search Amtrak Train After Bomb Threat
Philadelphia police searched a Washington-bound Amtrak train two miles outside 30th Street Station last night after an anonymous bomb threat was phoned in.
Police said someone phoned Baltimore police and said a bomb was on board Amtrak's 2175 Acela train bound for Washington. The threat was forwarded to Amtrak, which had Philadelphia police stop the train at 33d and Montgomery Streets.
K-9 dogs and members of the counter-terrorism unit then searched the train. No bomb was found, and no passengers had to disembark. Police said the search began about 10:15 p.m., and the train was allowed to proceed at 10:58 p.m.

Amtrak Intercepts two Washington-Bound Trains
Posted on Fri, May. 21, 2004 LINTHICUM, Md. - Amtrak police stopped and searched two Washington-bound trains, a spokesman for the passenger railroad said.
Police called Amtrak dispatchers on Thursday night to halt trains 2171 and 2175, both Acela Express trains from New York, so officers and dogs could search them, said Marc Magliari, the Amtrak spokesman.
One train was north of Philadelphia when it stopped; the other was near Baltimore-Washington International Airport. Both were delayed for more than 40 minutes but subsequently finished their routes.
Magliari declined to comment further.
This is all becoming alarming.....
They must have something more than we know.......or that infrared device that they said wasn't terr/related IS.
The definition of is is.
Or, the little "trouble makers" (calling in bomb threats) are doing their jobs. Remember when they were told to act suspicious or do everything possible to keep LE busy. Diversions. Which to me means they are getting closer to their grand finale. I hope we can close the curtain on their act before it happens. But as Rumsfeld says they only have to be right once we have to be right all the time to stop them.
Did I just hear a guy on Fox say that it's possible someone just dropped that infrared device there? Which by the way became hidden all by itself!
