Ok. Thinking explosives. Where are high speed trains being attacked by explosives? I don’t hear much in Germany, France, China, or Japan.

Don't jinx it.

As I said in another reply, too late, by twenty-one years.

And yet, no TSA-like bullshit.

Commuter trains aren’t high speed trains though.

True (though the AVE also stops at Atocha, as it did back in 2004).

They also tend to carry more passengers, which means the number of victims was significantly larger than if it had been an AVE.

And yet, your prediction of a nine-eleven-like security theater didn't come to pass. 🤷‍♂️

I never predicted 9/11 security theater. That was someone else. I was saying the opposite. It isn’t needed and won’t happen.

Those countries arent full of Americans though. If a thing exists Americans will try to attack it.

Didn't cause security theater, though. 🤷‍♂️

Those are dense packed commuter trains from more than 20 years ago. Sort of the opposite of comfortable high speed long distance trains now days.

If you search for “bomb train” you’ll get results but it might be worth looking deeper than the headline.

So, even fucking worse when it comes to number of victims.

I don't need to search for it, it was all over the news for months.

And yet, we got over it.

We’re taking about high speed trains here. Independent of that, regarding attacks on commuter trains getting over it without American style tsa is a good thing.
