Amtrak train????

Question

What are the security measures in the Chicago Amtrak station(or any other big train station in the US i guess)? Do they check inside your bags like at airports, or do they send them through a x-ray machine thing like at the airports? Are they gonna make us go through a metal detector or something? I know that that they check us for our ID, but that's all i know. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Answer 1

As long as you have proper identification you will be able to walk on.

There is basically little or no security.

Answer 2

They don't do much security on Amtrak.  Sometimes they have random checks, but nothing near what airports do.

Answer 3

Just about no security. No detectors, no searches.

Answer 4

Go to Amtrak.Com and enter security in the upper right corner search box. From there you will be able to find a section of FAQ's about security. There will also be other internal Amtrak links concerning their security policies.

Answer 5

The security precautions are less conspicuous than at airports, but they are present nonetheless.   Anyone up to no good is likely to be surprised...enough said.
