My Way News - More ID, bag checks on Europe's trains after foiled attack
My Way News reports: "European countries will increase identity checks and baggage controls on trains after American passengers thwarted an attack on a high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris, France's interior minister said Saturday. [...] The security officials said there's no way to monitor each passenger and bag without choking the continental train system, which Europeans rely upon heavily. [...] EU officials were expected to press for the increased use of closed circuit cameras in trains and stations and more metal detectors at entrances. The European Commission was also to raise the idea of using full-body scanners for people who try to board at the last minute."
