Europe can't escape!

I'm wondering when something similar will occur on either an Amtrak train (especially the Acela because it is their flagship line) or one of the major city's train systems. They seem to be inevitable targets.

Absolutely--unless they've changed in the last few months, they have absolutely zero security. (OK, maybe they xray checked baggage? But they don't check anything you carry on the train with you. And they don't make any attempt to verify that you are the person listed on your ticket when they come to collect it.)

How about a shopping mall? Sitting ducks from a security standpoint, and heavy symbolism for anybody wishing to make a statement about America's worship of Mammon.
