Papers please... part, oh, 52

Amtrack is now starting to perform random ID checks on their trains, "as part of a broader program to improve security." As Bruce Schneier points out, "this works because, somehow, terrorists don't have IDs."

From the article: The security program is the result of a federal directive, issued in May, to protect rail passengers from terrorism. I wonder if this is an expansion of the same secret, need-to-know-basis directives that John Gilmore is suing over.
