Schumer Calls For ‘Do Not Ride’ List For Amtrak
CBS ^ | 09 may 2011

— Sen. Charles Schumer is calling for better rail security now that the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound has turned up plans to attack trains in the U.S.

“Anyone, even a member of al-Qaida could purchase a train ticket and board an Amtrak train without so much as a question asked,” Schumer said. “So that’s why I’m calling for the creation of an Amtrak no ride list. That would take the secure flight program and apply it to Amtrak trains.”

I’ll give my age away, but I remember when you could just get on the train at the station and pay for your ticket when the conductor came around with his punch.

We’re one train bombing away from having the TSA move in on the trains, and do the same thing to that industry they’re done to the airlines. Chucky is merely stating the obvious.

“....the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound has turned up plans to attack trains in the U.S.”

These guys really, really need to shut their yaps about may or may not have been found at OBL’s pad.

Of course, a terrorist could just do it on a subway train, instead. So I guess we’ll have to have a list for subways, too. And busses, and taxicabs, and cars and trucks, and bicycles.

I’m just sayin...

Anybody else ever notice that the first three letters of Chuckie’s last name are the same as the first three letters of the word “schmuck?”

The first time I had to produce an ID (driver’s license) when boarding Amtrak, was four years or so ago. Small town stop in the middle of the prairie at 3 in the morning.

Chucky Schumer should be at the top of such a list.

And the rest of the Senate right behind him. Especially the smelly ones like Reid.

If Schumer REALLY cared, he would be working at securing our borders.

Seems odd translators could go though Osama' s stuff - and find the info about trains so quickly.

I don't believe it.

Takes time to translate - - lots of stuff hauled out of the mansion...

My guess? Liberals are doing their totalitarian control freak thing - - the only 'terrorists' that fit their paranoid delusions are conservative, white, middle class Americans.
