True, but all we can do is speculate. I'd be more worried about CA
finding out about lies on applications and over-responding, given all
the homeland security hoo-haa these days. But then again, I've been
seeing a lot of homeland security on the trains lately, so I'm a bit
conscious of that. They've asked me for my ticket 3 times lately (as
opposed to the normal conductor asking). One guy even has a dog.
