That highlights the very issue. At the airport, refusal to consent to TSA inspection results in the TSA denying access to the sterile area and to aircraft based on duly-adopted federal regulations, a denial that may be enforced by law enforcement personnel. On the other hand, what are the consequences to refusing consent to TSA inspection at a railroad station? There appear to be no duly-adopted regulations empowering TSA to deny access to the escalator, platform, and/or train. If there were a denial, would it be TSA making the denial, or would it be Amtrak making the denial at the request of TSA? I think it would be the latter. . . .

Read the article linked in the post, and you'll see exactly what I mean. The TSA website suggests that if you refuse screening, they just won't let you fly. It makes no mention of traveler liability to arrest or civil fines, yet in the article are warnings that these things most certainly can happen to those who enter screening lines or areas, but then refuse to be screened and/or searched.

In the section of Amtrak's published Terms of Transportation related to the carriage of passengers, it states: "Amtrak may refuse to carry passengers . . . [w]ho refuse to consent to Amtrak security inspections of persons and/or baggage onboard Amtrak trains and/or at designated areas, such as train platforms and passenger boarding or waiting areas."

Note that the condition imposed is consent to Amtrak security inspections, not TSA security inspections. It would appear that only if TSA were acting as Amtrak's agent would refusal to consent to a TSA inspection trigger the Terms of Transportation as a basis for denial. And in such case, it would be Amtrak that would be denying transportation pursuant to its Terms of Transportation; TSA would not be denying transportation based on their authority.

No, I was thinking that a policeman could accompany the person until he is some distance away from the station and that Amtrak's system not allow him to exchange his ticket for a different train that day and also flag him for extra scrutiny in the future. Police could also be brought in to cover all stairways and escalators and elevators to that platform.

I did admit that the size of the Israel Railways network probably looks minuscule next to some other places, such as New York City, and I appreciate your extra information. Here are some points I'd add about how such a process could be refined.

1. People would arrive a few minutes earlier if they knew there would be security procedures to go through to reach the train. Is it inconvenient? Perhaps, but when I take buses out of the Central Bus Station in Jerusalem, I know that I need to allow 10 minutes or so to pass through security and get to the platform when determining when to leave home.

2. While there would be an adjustment period, once that passed, if most people adapt to the procedures, they should move fairly smoothly.

3. Training is key. If they actually had competent security personnel in the US and trained them properly, this system could work well, especially if the traveling public gets the hang of it too. In Israel, wallets and keys and such are not x-rayed. Only the largest parcels go through the x-ray, such as suitcases and backpacks.

I once had lunch with the director of NARP, who was convinced prior to our meal that no effective security could be implemented on a rail network, and after hearing about what they do in Israel, said he thought otherwise. I'm not saying that this sort of thing should be done or is necessary, but unlike others here, I don't believe it is impossible.

Where there is a will, there is a way. Besides, the lines in Jerusalem extend out on to the sidewalk in front of the station and walking through at busy times is difficult, but everyone manages. (They also have security staff patrolling the entrance to the holding pen so if someone wanted to detonate themselves while waiting for the security check, they wouldn't be able to.)

Lion, it's all apart of the fake left/right paradigm. I am an conservative and still can see this was started by the Bush administration with Cheney pulling the strings and is in fact continued with the Obama with Soros pulling the strings. IMO we have to stop with the two seperate sides and point the finger at the banks and corporate empires that are pushing for this. However this part is for all, The left is being alarmingly quiet. The NDAA is 10x worse than the patriot act could be. This act has defined the "homeland" as a battlefield on the war on terror and US forces can be used against american citizens upto and INCULDING indefinate detention of US citizens by the military. SO why don't we send a message that we won't be enslaved instead of arguing amogst are selves. BTW Lion you were right it has gotten worse since the Obama administration came into power, "we are the ones we've been waiting for" is starting to take effect.

The problem is, go the other way and you'd have many family members of 9/11 victims, some of whom that have never been able to move past that day totally up in arms.

A lot of this has been done every year when there has ever since 9/11 been a heightened awareness, even if to some it looks more like a "dog and pony" show to appease those who have become paranoid about travel because of the few incidents that have actually happened.

I'd say don't go in any way at all. If the paranoia about travel is worse now than, then. That means the patriot act served no purspose and we don't need the crack smoking, child molesing TSA. SO the NDAA is supposed to solve that, I guess. And for 9/11 victims, first responders were consider a security risk at the 10 yr. anniversary and not invited to to said event. Let alone any rescue workers who have health conditions are being shrugged off as all apart of the way things are. So the victims families aren't the motivation either. So what is?

I disagree with the need to have the military act as a police force, but it was demanded by the party out of power as an act of blackmail. I don't see what the right is flailing about coming down, but I can see this not passing Constitutional muster. I'd rather not go into it on this side of the fence here, but the provisions of the new act are quite dangerous should anyone be declared an "enemy of the state" and I could see it being stretched completely out of line to define railfans with cameras as full-out terrorists in wrong hands. That's the only reason why I'm saying this over here.

I understand Obama added a "signing statement" when he signed it into law earlier, but I haven't had a chance to read about it as yet. He seemed to think some of the provisions were too strong and unnecessary, that's about all I've read so far. But the new provisions are every bit as dangerous to the right as they are to the left and it seems that nobody cared as it was all coming down. Now it's law.

How about a secret high power within the Government that's controlling all this high security crap that even our elected President can't touch.this is the way it is and will be unless actions are taken through the people to get rid of this altogether .... but it will NEVER happen even now this country is in for rough times ahead.

Yep, I can see some of us getting harassed by it like the patriot act and anti-terrorism nonsense. I belive the blackmail part was funding of tax cut extensions and other fundings issues that would be killed if they didn't vote for the NDAA, IIRC, but could be wrong.

How? because IDK how. They did wreck the OWS movement and probably wreck any other movement, IMO.

The thing that bothers me about it is that we already have more than enough laws and regulations, and terrorism cases have been handled just fine by the courts. These flag-wavers don't realize that the military justice system is likely to be MORE lenient on the bad guys, not less. But then again, symbolism over substance always wins. :(
