Topic: Mass Transit

Janet Napolitano and President Obama are analyzed regarding the expansion of security measures beyond airports. While Obama promotes high-speed rail as a convenient alternative to flying, Napolitano suggests that "tighter" aviation security necessitates moving screening technology into mass transit, trains, and maritime environments. The hosts view this as a coordinated effort to create a market for screening machines in all public sectors.

New TSA Chief John Pistole announces that securing subways and rail systems will be a top priority, equal to aviation security. The hosts predict that full-body scanners and shoe removal will soon be required for train travel. They argue that the expansion of TSA authority into ground transportation is an unnecessary infringement on civil liberties based on hypothetical threats.
