How Weird. And I don't mean our friend. You're right, he couldn't be more stoopid if he tried. Very sad.
I wish we had more and better trains too. Not just local, but cross country. You want a Trip rather than a quick shuttle, Take the Train, not the plane. Safer, saner, no terrorists, and you can bring on Liquids! :D
Though I hear that the Airline Industry wants the same security restrictions they have put on every other mode of public transit, included Subways, buses, and trains. Luckily, this has mostly been ignored. But they have a lot of lobbyists. The only protection is the number of people taking Boston Corridor will argue a lot about that. And there are a lot of them with their lattes and laptops. *whew*
