Making Amtrak even less convenient

2012-10-09 23:00:16.508226+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Amtrak targets human trafficking. Yep, the bogey man of the new century is overrunning our transportation network. Now that the war profiteers have been run away because people finally realized that hijacking a train and driving it into a building wasn't a real threat, they're off after "human trafficking"!

Sounds so much sexier than "kidnapping", doesn't it? After all, kidnappers are easy to identify, where as trafficked humans might look amazingly like teenagers escaping abusive families or something. You can see how we might get confused.
