The chief of Amtrak Police has told TSA to stay away from his train stations.
It seems a TSA VIPR team set up shop unannounced at the Savannah Amtrak Station and insisted on screening every passenger that entered—including some who had just gotten OFF a train.
The police chief got wind of this after a You Tube video of
a nine year old boy being searched went viral. He said until an agreement between his department and TSA is finalized he doesn’t want them anywhere near the train stations.
Eventually,
TSA responded. It defended its actions and even, are you ready, admitted it might have made a small mistake. Gee, really?
