[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been riding MARC for years and never had this happen before.

Four homeland security officers in vests and guns came onto my train car at Silver Spring and rode to Union Station. They were accompanied by a uniformed police officer (not sure if it was MD or DC). They stood on the train car like they were about to do something but they ended up just getting off the train and walking towards the station.

What would be the reason that homeland security needs to ride a commuter train if not to intimidate people?

Umm... to commute to work?

While I can understand why you might've been somewhat stressed by them, it doesn't sound like they were doing anything beyond, you know, commuting on a commuter train. They do have guns, yes. Unless they were out and pointed at someone, this is a non-issue.

What does "they stood on the train car like they were about to do something" mean? [/quote]

Oh come on. They were not "commuting." They were in a group, obviously working on something. They do not commute on a MARC train.

They stood at the door looking at all of the passengers. One of them winked and smiled at me because I was looking at him to see what they were doing. [/quote]
