Amtrak Train Security?

Question

Is seurity at the stations like at airports? Where they x-ray and check all the carry ons, long lines, etc

Answer 1

nope, much better than airlines.
You pretty much just walk on. If someone tries to do somethign silly they better plan on a fast trip to the roadbed, and that is a hard landing.
(TSA = thousands standing around)

Answer 2

No security checks. Long lines sometimes, but no X-rays or special security requirements. You can check your baggage or carry on, but carry on space is limited. They do however throw people off trains who are disturbing other passengers. I've seen people thrown off for buying minors drinks, fighting, or otherwise disturbing other passengers. This is one reason train travel can sometimes be delayed. They have to actually stop the train before throwing people off.

Answer 3

NO. Airports are more secure than train stations. Train stations have little security and at some stations none at all. Be careful and look out for yourself and others when you travel.

Answer 4

No xrays. No security checks openning luggage and strip searches. Just huge security guards in uniform eyeing everyone around.
