Security on Amtrak trains??

Hi, I'm wondering if any of you all know about how tight security is when riding on an Amtrak train. Say, for example, someone wanted to bring a small glass piece and an eighth of bud with them? What would be the safest way? Like, in your shoe, or is something better required?
I know the cops regularly stop Greyhounds and harass the riders, but what's it like with trains? I would imagine the cops can't delay a train's schedule without actual probable cause, so I'm thinking it's gonna be a lot easier to tote a little smoke on a train than on a bus.
Opinions, and experiences please..

I rode on one back in March and I didn't get searched at all. I was paranoid because I brought some drugs with me but I just simply walked in and found a seat without dealing with anyone.

Yeah, trains get more business class types than busses do too. If the pigs started harassing them regularly there would be some whiplash I bet.
I feel fairly comfortable, but in this 9/11 age I'm still a bit concerned.

I haven't ridden on a train recently, but I'd check the news to see what the security is like when entering. I remember for a while they had airport-like security with metal detectors and all.

back in 83 in the winter headed from san bernardino to raton pass , i took the train, i met a guy i cant remeber well and we went down to the giant bathroom car and smoked the shit outta so,me red hair, didnt care about nuthin and knew we could just dump if bothered , no one really cared as the train was real empty,then i likked to stand between the cars and dopen the window to get fresh air and view close scenery. well the train guys didnt like that , thought i would stick my damn head out and get it lopped off by the rocks we went by and very close too. well i wasnt a imbecil, and resented that but after they caught me a feqw times they threatened to kick me off for looking out a open window , but not for smoking out the bathroom car. , tip the bartender good and your drinks will flow, , just go in the bathroom and sit on stool and smoke away, who cares/ are yu a terroist? good vlow the fuckers up then. amtrak is ok but not flexible and they act like its aprivelage to ride 'their train" get a suite on the train , is best.if not make brownies. smoke it in the space between cars.put the pipe in the crack of your ass. i never was bothered on greyhound but before getting on they do at certain terminals, also la migar dioes too id yu speak not engweesh.

LOL Dude, I just wanna get some personal smoke to my destination with me, not smoke out the train. They say you can't even smoke cigarettes on the train, even in a sleeper. Not to mention the sleeper price would make the ticket price go up 300% anyway, so fuck that.

On the subways and commuter trains in NYC, New Jersey and Boston cops are allowed to randomly search your backpack, purse or large bags.

I got arrested at the trainstation for open container, I constantly see cops at trainstations too. Just be careful LF, I'm sure you'll be ok. They would have no reason to search your persons.

Yeah it was EZ. They don't search anything. Just don't smoke pot on the train or they'll have a cop waiting at the next station, they said.
