Question

Same, like the hydrolic police for aircraft.

Answer 2

nope its much easier there is no x-ray no, metal detectors

and no body searches your belonging..either

its makes for more pleasure trip you dont have to worry about

what they (TSA would remove from your carry-on)

Answer 3

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 4

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 5

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

Answer 6

Nope.

Ya buys your ticket, ya takes your chances.

Answer 7

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 8

according whats going around eventualy it will be as near stringent as air travel they are talk of security  being beefed up more in terminals  as well as more focus being placed on fright lines especialy ones carrying hazardous loads but as of present only moderate security exist in most terminal areas
