Eastern Railroad Discussion > Securing the Rail System

From today's Washington Post.

To briefly quote from the article:

"Jonathan Fleming, TSA's chief operating officer, said most of the rail security work has been behind the scenes. "We didn't take over security operations in rail the same way we did in aviation, so it may look different," Fleming said. "It might not be as visible or as sexy, but we've certainly been working on it since the early days."

you would include a short precis or summary of the content
(rail related) and thus leaving the reader to decide if he/she
would like to leave trainorders to enter the link.

What would really help for posts like this would be to copy the story and post it along with the link. Many aren't registered with these sights and doing so often turns into spam fodder.

Why would you not want to read
one of America's most influential newspapers?

Well, copyrights do not prevent you from summarizing for us. It would be helpful to summarize (in your own words) the article and include the link. If someone really wants to sign up for their site, they will. But many people here will not, so many of us will never know what this story is about.

I signed up for a smaller newspaper in California that someone on this site linked an article to. A week after I registered for that site, I started receiving emails from a radio station in the same town. Over a year later, I still get their monthly newsletters (which do me a lot of good in Ohio) and I have still not been able to get them to stop sending them! I admit this could be a coincidence, but I doubt it.

just use a fake email address...once you register, it shows you the article.
I do it all the time. Screw their email gathering techniques :) I also like
to mess up their demographics. I usually register as the CEO of a company,
female, born in the early 1900's, from Alaska.

Or you could use www.bugmenot.com to get a fake login...
