Amtrak Police shook me down in Reno

[The Chief]

This is a good post with some keen insight from many.

rrdude I LOL at the Parish Hilton pic!

Rather than jumping in verbally (I have mixed feelings about our heightened security, constitutional rights, appearances, as many of us do).

But I will ask, had the officer been in uni, would he have looked anything like this:

I worked for someone who is representing a client in an active case that came about from one of these raids on Amtrak where they did find a large amount of drugs on the people. They purchased space in a roomette, paid cash going cross-country last minute. Works both ways.

Indeed. The last time I rode the CZ, I got off the sleeper at Reno to have a cigarette. A young man boarded with two extremely large and heavy suitcases, put them in the bag hold, and then went up to the roomette next to mine. After I reboarded, I heard a commotion next door, looked out and saw two policemen. They escorted the guy off the train...I asked the attendant later, and he said that the two large bags were apparently full of drugs.
