Subject: RE: Counter-Terrorism Measures
The thing with trains is you can't divert them to crash into buildings miles away, and they aren't full to the gunwales with explosive fuel.

Whatever happens the important thing is to make sure that "commercial considerations" don't come into it. If adequate safety precautions mean it becomes impossible for airlines to make a profit or continue in business, we should just learn to manage without them like all our ancestors did. And they didn't have mobile phones and the internet.

And intriguing as the suggestion might be I didn't suggest naked. Overalls or pyjamas would cover up more than a lot of people normally wear anyway.
