Don't jinx it.

My point is once a terrorist attack happens, there will be TSA like checks for getting on high speed trains.

My city (Mumbai) has seen multiple local train bombings so the newly built metro lines have baggage scanner at the entry.

Don't jinx it.

As I said in another reply, too late, by twenty-one years.

And yet, no TSA-like bullshit.

Commuter trains aren’t high speed trains though.

True (though the AVE also stops at Atocha, as it did back in 2004).

They also tend to carry more passengers, which means the number of victims was significantly larger than if it had been an AVE.

And yet, your prediction of a nine-eleven-like security theater didn't come to pass. 🤷‍♂️

I never predicted 9/11 security theater. That was someone else. I was saying the opposite. It isn’t needed and won’t happen.
