This experience was altogether enjoyable, but quite unnerving upon contemplation. Two observations for your consideration. 1. No security checks @ boarding either way. Nothing in rural PA and nothing in any of the NYC stations either. Is this the "best practice"? 2.I also rode multiple times on the NYC Subway, Metro DC subway, LI Railway, Amtrak and Metro NYC area bus lines. In the last two months. Millions of others are doing this each day, 24 /7. If the riders don't embrace the attitude of "if you see something , say something" then what? Who is watching this important doorway? I'm not paranoid, but I am very concerned. I traveled across PA to NYC earlier this month via rail and not airplane. This experience was altogether enjoyable, but quite unnerving upon contemplation.
