with the new train security coming into effect on sun what would be the safest way to carry on amtrack? ive never had a problem before so i was just wondering if it will be a little more difficult now.. anyone have any ideas? there are so many worse things these days to worry about!!!!!
Just stick it in a colored film cannister in your purse or camera bag with some others....I don't think they search that thoroughly....
hehe...but how could you justify bringing a jar of peanut butter? They might check to see if it's opened or still sealed or whatever......
bring some crackers with you and the peanut butter. maybe some jelly to. then there would be no reason to ask you y you have peanut butter if it is open.
though the new train security may be an annoyance and it was nice to be able to carry whatever pot/alcohol you wanted w/ no questions asked, it is probably a good thing they are adding some security to those trains. it really was completely non-existent and a very easy terrorist target as i presume it will continue to be. it's a shame but it really is necessary for them to up the security on those trains.
I have heard from some LEO's (Law enforcement officers) on other boards that Amtrack actually has a really really good security team. And they are actually a law enforcement agency not just rent a cops.
They have undercovers posing as passengers, that's about the only thing you should be concerned with.
