Automated Amtrak Station
Alan: In case the San Bernardino mass murderers prove to be Islamists or Islamist sympathizers, I want to pose a question that has haunted me since 9/11.
95% of America's Amtrak stations are completely automated with no personnel on site.
Given this widespread automation, terrorist can not only blow up their train-of-choice but can board the train with a plastic explosive hidden unobtrusively under a coat, leave the bomb on board, exit at the next station, and get away Scot-free.

Unless the world's terrorists are jawdroppingly dimwitted, it is astonishing -- flabbergasting-beyond-comprehension! -- that there have not been weekly attacks on America's endless supply of "soft targets."
