I'm no conspiracy theorist (but I play one on TV), however... This is all starting to make sense.
Y'all have seen how "Babbling" Joe Biden practically gets a chubby whenever he talks about his pet boondoggle, Amtrak. This is just an Obamatard administration ploy to force more people onto an outdated mode of transportation, that loses $32 for every ticket it sells.
What better way to get people over to that miserable waste of taxpayer money than to be able to advertise, "Amtrak... We don't touch your junk!"? That is, until the terrorists figure out how easy it is to derail a train.
Hard to fly a train into a building...
As far as ticket sales loss, how much subsidy has the airline industry gotten? Nevermind, it's not a debate about how much each respective industry gets (they all get a lot), it's how much should the government control common carrier transportation. Too much right now is the answer.
