X-URL: http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/15/weekinreview/15BOXA.html?pagewanted=print April 15, 2001 Amtrak 'Sharing' Information With D.E.A. Something to think about next time you decide to ride the rails: Amtrak has acknowledged that one of its ticketing offices has been "sharing information" about passengers with the Drug Enforcement Administration, and then taking a 10 percent cut of any assets seized from drug couriers. .................. ------ You can't fly without an "approved" ID. If you drive, and you're a minority, watch out in NJ. The trains are now covered. That leaves walking, but wasn't no less than Matt Blaze stopped for being Carless in California? So much for that pesky BoR thing. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz () nrk com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
