national terror alert ^

Allegedly he was causing a disturbance on the train and the conductor attempted to move him to another part of the train, that’s when he said he had a bomb and the bomb was in his bag” says Emporia Police Chief Bernard Richardson.

Around 2am the bomb squad determined the threat was a hoax. The Yemeni man was taken into custody by the FBI and is facing a felony charge of making a threat on a public conveyance. The hundreds of passengers were finally able to continue on their way.

My MIL is on an AMTRAK train on her way to visit us. Wrong part of the country though.

It’s a shame someone didn’t give him instant lead poisoning.

A gun is convienient,but maybe if the passengers would beat to death a couple of these clowns then there would be a lot less of this.

This was just a test by one of our sleepers to see how well we will respond in case of an actual attack. The Islamofascists are constantly probing our defenses, seeing what will work and how to best cause pain and suffering. The Yemeni man understands the concept of the suicide bomber - so sacrificing a decade or two of his life to preach Islam in jail isn’t really that much of a sacrifice.

Man, I like your style! They're from parts of the world where the mob takes care of clowns like them. Perhaps if they knew they'd get strung up for pulling crap like this, they'd think twice...or decide it's best for them to keep their benighted rear ends back home with the camels.

I took Amtrak for five years, commuting from Vermont to NYC. It was hell, and all the more so when something happened and it was three or four hours late.

A bit of lead is just what that guy deserved, even if he’s not a terrorist.

No no, he said he had hair piece on his head, the buumb thing was just his Clouseau impersonation.

Amtrak is a nice way to travel if you aren’t in a hurry and don’t get upset about delays.

Should have tied him to the tracks and then let Amtrak continue normal operations.
