\"Trains, like planes, often carry hundreds of passengers. Trains, like planes, collect passengers in densely-packed terminals. As a result, trains, like planes, are highly vulnerable to terrorist attacks. You can walk on a train with a suitcase full of explosives, wait for the train to reach a high speed, then detonate it. Or you can just walk into a train station with a suitcase full of explosives, find a packed crowd, walk away, and detonate.\
\
Killing hundreds of train travelers would be a cake walk for any motivated terrorist.\
\
How do train regulators respond to this risk?\
\
With a whole lot of nothing. \"
