Scariness aside, there is another level of scariness that has to do with the vulnerability of our commuter rail system. I haven't ridden Amtrak in quite a while, so I don't know if there is any better security for passenger rail, which I used to regard as a safer mode of transportation, after all, you can't hijack a train, and they seem to derail less often than planes fall out of the sky.

If anyone has a question about what I mean by vulnerable, there are some decent documentaries on the Aum Shinryko Sarin attacks in Japan. It would appear to be very easy to deploy a C-BRNE weapon on a commuter train.

Yeah, but you can do that poison gas shit anywhere. A crowded supermarket on the weekend has as many people in it as a train car. There are tens of thousands of similar targets around the country. You can't protect them all.
