American soldiers are weak and cowardly - Here's the proof!
wrote in message thlink.net... Trouble is you have to allow around 3 hours to get through the security and check in process on US flights these days but here in Europe I can get from London to Paris in that period and clear customs and immigration on the train. True but they've been at it for longer in Europe. Americans are still getting used to the idea of all the security, and importunely allot of the personal that are manning the checkpoints aren't trained to the same standard or level the their counterparts in Europe are. To be fair the main difference is that the trains are specialist International trains making many fewer local stops. It would be very hard to clear the Toronto-New York train as it makes more than a dozen stops along the way. The other factors are that the distances between population centers are much lower in Europe, this means that a city centre to city centre journey of 500 miles is a long trip and that high speed rail can compete much more realistically with air travel. |
