You are correct! The security situation on European high-speed trains is a catastrophe waiting to happen, particularly in France, where their TGV is considered an icon of national pride. Security has increased slightly, but it would still be child's play for someone (anyone) to place a bomb in the luggage carrier of one of these trains. But why bomb the actual train? It's impossible to have 'airline' security on a train. Put screening, metal detctors the works to board a TGV - it won't help in the slightest, because the terrorists will just put the bomb on the rails instead. A broken rail will really ruin your day when you hit it at 225kph. So there's no *point* having airline-style security on trains. -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee" |
