The only thing he did wrong was wait until he got out of the metal
detector. He should have stripped in the line, run his clothes through
with his shoes and laptop, then got dressed on the other side.

I doubt any "indecent exposure" charge sticks if he was wearing
regular underwear so this became one of those infamous "disorderly
conduct" arrests.

I doubt it also, but this whole business is moronic.

I'd say for short distances.... (under 1000 miles), trains are starting
to look a whole lot better.


We took the Amtrak Silver Meteor to Florida on Monday, When we went to
the waiting lounge, the attendant looked at my photo ID. That was it.
Pleasant trip, no hassles, slept most of the way. Dining car was ok, too.

We can rent either a 'compartment with fold down bed.... or a bunk type bed
in a sleeper car for overnights.
When I was doing a lot of train travel in the 60's.. I saved the money and
tried to get some shuteye in the regular reclining chairs.
Got tiresome on a cross country trip of 5 days.
