Sleeping Man Beheaded on Greyhound Bus
Warning: this is a disturbing story!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25949218/
Horror on Canadian bus as seat mate beheaded
40-year-old arrested after grisly slaying aboard Manitoba-bound Greyhound
WINNIPEG, Manitoba - A traveler aboard a Greyhound bus repeatedly stabbed and then decapitated his seat mate, pausing during the savage attack in central Canada to display the head to passengers who had fled in horror, witnesses said Thursday.
A 40-year-old man was arrested shortly after the grisly slaying Wednesday night aboard a bus traveling from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Steve Colwell told reporters Thursday.
Police apprehended the suspect when he broke a bus window and tried to escape, Colwell said. A motive had not been determined. Authorities declined to identify the suspect or the victim, and provided few details about the attack.

It's always amazed me you can't get on a plane with a weapon, but there's not a single thing in place for bus or train travel.

That always surprised me too; I used to take the Greyhound/Peter Pan home for holidays. They put up signs after 9/11 that all bags were subject to search, but I never saw one actually get searched.

Who in the world travels with tools that would decapitate someone? What kind of instrument even does that? I imagine your everyday regular knife wouldn't...

I can't imagine what that guy's last moments were like. The guy next to you pulls out some sort of tools and starts stabbing you...unreal. That stuff is enough to give you nightmares for weeks.

Don't forget cruise ship travel - security on cruise ships is a joke too.

It's to create the "illusion" of security. I remember in the hotel parking lots of Las Vegas....the security guards just kinda wave you through.... tra la la...come on in.

The stories that I've read are that it was a hunter or butcher type of knife, or a "Rambo knife" according to some witnesses.
The whole thing is sickening and disturbing, to put it mildly.

HORRIFYING! The other passengers are going to need post-trauma therapy. I don't know what I would do if I witnessed something like that. I don't even want to think about it.

Pittsburgh at least gives bus passengers a bit of a heads up - the station is next door to the county jail!
Needless to say, I never take the bus...

Do you want to wait 2 hours and get searched everytime you get on a bus? You can't destroy a skyskraper with a bus.

El Al Airlines is the "gold standard" in airline security, but I'm sure that passengers wait a long time.

there are pictures in the link, but this thread is still nothing
Everything is nothing.
I'm still stunned that no one tried to stop him.
