Safe, that is, from gunvernment intrusion. Get ready for Homeland Security to make our trains and buses as terrific an experience as airplane boarding has become since 911:
Rail lines, bus systems show security shortfalls
"WASHINGTON — The first federal evaluation of mass-transit security shows that more than 75% of the nation's major rail and bus systems aren't meeting Homeland Security guidelines.
By contrast, 96% of airlines are complying with security requirements, according to a new report by the department. The report doesn't identify which rail and bus systems fell short.
The assessment comes as new Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says she plans to focus more on mass transit, possibly through "redeployment" of resources from other areas.
"We've done an awful lot in the aviation world," Napolitano said Monday. "We could pay more attention" to surface transportation security."
Actually Napolitano, the Federal Gunvernment has made an awful "lot" of air travel nowadays.
