Ok, let's say you do not like plane travel and you want to go somewhere in the US by train...perhaps Amtrak. Ok?
Now let's say you want to carry a little MJ with you, but not much...say a quarter or less.
And let's also say you have to travel by bus during this train trip for a couple of hours...

Where would you put it? How great is the chance of being searched on the train or the bus?

Anyone ever done this? Is there a thread on this? Thanks in advance for your input.

There are none of the issues with security when travelling by train that you experience when flying. However, practice common sense and maintain your stash in a location that is always under your control. Smoking is not allowed on a train, so it is common for many to get off at the station stops to have a cig - so hitting a bat or sneak-a-toke is easy. Use that common sense again and be discrete about it - it is best to do so on your own and not invite others to join you.

Amtrak perhaps? Unless you own a railroad there is no other choice. Good Travels.

Yeah, at train stations there is no luggage check or anything like that. No security like at an airport. You simply walk on the train with your luggage and put it above your seat or by your feet. Same with the bus. Just don't have it in plain view and you should be fine.

I guess there are down and upsides to no security on a train...

Until they start turning left and right, trains are not much of a threat to national security. However, train stations are something of a target and I have the expectation of being "inspected" upon entering major stations (major city stations). This inspection is not by an agency that needs the statistical benefit of finding MJ like the TSA, and is practical in nature. They size you up and visually inspect your luggage, and I trust they are actually looking for terrorists.

Perhaps our NYC friends will offer some advice.
