How will you go about guarding the thousands of miles of rail systems that such trains run on from the sabotage that could easily cause a catastrophic wreck at 300 MPH? What would stop an attacker from driving a cement mixer into the path of a train traveling 300MPH?
I’m a big fan of train travel but from a security point of view it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
