Comment Re: Japan's high speed trains (Score 1) 222

Amtrak doesn't currently use them and there is no reason to think they would need to add it.

It's a political question. In Spain you have to pass through an airport-style security checkpoint to access high-speed trains (although it's a pre-9/11-style checkpoint: no 100ml restrictions on liquids; and I've never seen anyone have to open their luggage). There's no guarantee that US politicians wouldn't expand TSA's remit to high-speed rail, so a discussion of pros vs cons should really treat it as a possible advantage of rail which can't be quantified.
