And I took this on a different tangent and got off topic...sorry, Bob...! Yep, I'm sure it's politics. St. Louis isn't the only city that has commuter trains that reaches into other states. Many of the big cities on the Eastern Seaboard (New York City, Boston, Philadelphia) have light rail and subway system that reach into other states. How do they provide security? See what I mean about St. Louis? Do you really think they're too stupid to figure out to check out other cities on the issue? Do you really think anyone responsible with security issues is that much of a knucklehead?
