Baggage System
c o n t i n u e d f r o m fron t
2011.
Dwayne Baird, a spokesperson
for the Transportation Security
Administration’s Western Region
said he cannot give a specific date
when the scanners will be imple
mented, but does tell travelers to
check the TSA’s site before head
ing to the airport, to check what
stricter security measures are in place
for the holidays.
He said that there will be an in
creased amount of screeners to ac
commodate the extra passenger
lode, and also stressed the impor
tance of valid IDs. He said that the
Secure Flight Program, which was
fully implemented nationwide Nov.
1, will cut back on Flight Watch List
misidentification incidents, so that
travelers should have fewer prob
lems going through security.
“W e’re here to ensure that your
holiday is a safe and secure one,”
Baird said.
At downtown’s Union Station,
Amtrak is adding 11 more trains —
not just cars, but entire train routes
— to the Cascades route, which
runs from Vancouver, British Co
lumbia to Eugene, for the Wednes
day prior to Thanksgiving to the
Sunday afterward.
With over 740,000 riders in the
fiscal year 2008, Cascades is the
seventh most heavily traveled cor
ridor in the country, and Portland is
the 15th busiest station in the na
tional Amtrak System.
Vemae Graham, Amtrak’s West
ern Regional spokesperson, said
this is the busiest time of year for the
rail company.
She said there were more than
17,000 riders nationally this past
weekend, and that they are expect
ing “record ridership” Nov. 24-28,
as each of the last few years has
topped the previous record. Amtrak
sees 127,000 passengers a year
systemwide, and Graham says that
the Thanksgiving holiday is even
busier than Christmas.
This will be the first time a mid
night train will be offered for Cas
cades-route Thanksgiving travel
ers — he train will leave Seattle at
midnight and arrive in Portland at
4:14 a.m., non-stop, for interested
early arrivers, so that they can help
with food preparations.
Graham says that there will be
some tighter security for travelers.
“Passengers may experience some
Amtrak police, random baggage
checks, and screenings at some sta
tions,” she said. “And be sure you
can provide a valid ID at all times.”
