Amtrak wants to identify passengers

dimanche 10 avril 2022 à 11:35

Amtrak wants to identify all passengers and check them against a secret suspects list belonging to the Department of Harshness and Suspicion.

This would require demanding official identification from each passenger. That's what Amtrak did until a few years ago. My response to that was never to use Amtrak.

People should be free to travel within a country without identifying themselves. You can support this by phoning your congresscritter.
