America needs a "no-ride" list barring suspected terrorists from Amtrak trains because of the potential threat of an Al Qaeda attack on the U.S. rail system on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Sen. Chuck Schumer said Sunday.
He called on Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to use the existing airline "no-fly" list for the rails, too.
"We have to be vigilant against future attacks," Schumer (D-NY) told reporters in midtown Manhattan yesterday.
When he's not busy suggesting that anyone that admits to having used a drug illegally be prohibited from owning a hand gun, he's now wants to put people on a "NO RIDE LIST" on Amtrac. What's next buses.
Perhaps Mr. Schumer is not aware that there is no guarantee that innocent people will not end up on the No Fly list and you are not told until you attempt to fly. Perhaps he is unaware that at one time even Senator Ted Kennedy was on the no fly list. Perhaps he is unaware that AMTRAC is funded with tax payer dollars and therefore not a private company such as airlines and therefore should be available to all taxpayers.
Perhaps Mr. Schumer needs to be on a "no idiots list".
