Hold onto your seats...... we're going for a ride now!

BOHICA! Big Brother is coming. We need 100,000 more rent a cops and thus, a massive tax on subways and commuter rail, none of which will make anything safer.

The terrorists have won it seems, without doing anything to railroads in the USA, they have us terrorized!

So what, we're supposed to sit around and do nothing until some a**hole whaps us upside the head? Bombing trains is a proven effective tactic for Al Queda and I think it's a good idea to investigate how to make trains more secure.

And show up one hour early for the twenty minute ride to DC!

Ban the trains altogether why not if you are that scared?

Oh please help us big brother because we are terrorized!

You have let them win without doing anything, the ultimate goal of terrorists.

Hey Clarence & Lackawanna, forget trying to interject reason. Everytime this subject comes up the same old "Big Brother" rhetoric comes out. I hope it never happens, but if a train in the US gets hit, these are the same folks that will be posting "Where the hell was the Government?".
