FOX 16 FOLLOWUP : Amtrak vulnerabilities


FOX 16
Reported by Kathleen Berger

This one is certainly a blockbuster. I can only hope that the Department of Homeland Security was notified about the horrendous breach in our nation's fragile safety net against the dangerous hordes of international terrorists.

OK, but now on to the story.

It was a bad thing how the station was unsecured. I think the FOX folks gained entry through the back door on the inside. Any time I have been around there trackside during the day the exterior doors have been locked.

I thought AMTRAK discontinued checked baggage in Little Rock last year.

If you stand on the platform watching trains, or worse taking pictures, the Union Pacific authorities are bound to take notice. They own the tracks.

The positive aspect of this story is that thousands of people now know that Arkansas has AMTRAK service. So thanks Kathleen and FOX 16. The bad news is that some of them might try to use it.
