LA is not NY. LA is not Europe, either. I've been to all three. Have you?
And I love taking trains in Europe, and do so every chance I get. But it's always with the knowledge that 50% of the price of my ticket is paid for by hapless European taxpayers who have half the standard of living I do. I appreciate their sacrifice for my comfort and convenience. And BTW, most of those countries are bankrupt, just like California will soon be.
And what makes you think that the TSA would not make train travel just as miserable as plane travel? After all, it's called the "Transportation Security Administration", not the "Airport Security Administration" for a reason.
But please go ahead and keep going on about other people's ignorance as loudly as you possibly can.
