I have contemplated ditching planes for trains, but I don't think the

Here in the US, what little "train service" we have has zero security
theater.  You arrive, walk in with your luggage rolling behind you, and
no one checks you over, pats you down, feels you up, or otherwise does
anything "security check" wise.  You show your ticket at the counter (to
prove you purchased a ticket), go sit and wait, walk out to the train
with your luggage when it is time, and climb aboard.

I wondered about that. I haven't taken a train in over 40 years. I would
have to drive 135 miles to get to a passenger train station.

Train stations are for nerds! Real men jump from a moving car to the moving train!
