Amtrak to screen some carry-ons
From Times Wire Reports
Amtrak will start randomly screening passengers’ carry-on bags this week in a new security push that includes officers with automatic weapons and bomb-sniffing dogs patrolling platforms and trains.
The initiative is to be announced today.
Unlike the airlines, Amtrak has had relatively little visible increase in security since the 2001 terrorist attacks. But concern has been mounting since the 2004 bombings of commuter trains in Madrid that killed 191 people.
