  Ok. Thinking explosives. Where are high speed trains being attacked by explosives? I don’t hear much in Germany, France, China, or Japan.

    Don’t jinx it.

    My point is once a terrorist attack happens, there will be TSA like checks for getting on high speed trains.

    My city (Mumbai) has seen multiple local train bombings so the newly built metro lines have baggage scanner at the entry.

      As I said in another reply, too late, by twenty-one years.

      And yet, no TSA-like bullshit.

        Commuter trains aren’t high speed trains though.

    Those countries arent full of Americans though. If a thing exists Americans will try to attack it.

    Didn’t cause security theater, though. 🤷‍♂️

      Those are dense packed commuter trains from more than 20 years ago. Sort of the opposite of comfortable long distance trains now days.

      If you search for “bomb train” you’ll get results but it might be worth looking deeper than the headline.

        So, even fucking worse when it comes to number of victims.

        I don’t need to search for it, it was all over the news for months.

        And yet, we got over it.
