Traveling Amtrak in the Northwest
King Street Station, Seattle
Traveling in the Northwest by Amtrak was relaxing and beautiful. There were almost no lines and they seemed to know I was carrying a real laptop and had purchased my water at the train station. After having been felt up before a recent flight, I was inspired by Amtrak’s common sense, light touch transformation of modern security to imagine a new marketing campaign for them. Some of the images have background stories which you can read by clicking on them.
Thank you to security expert Bruce Schneier for highlighting this post. Also, a shout out to Chris Pecora for permission to use his growling growler image. If you enjoy this, please read The Obvious Appeal of Disruption (and Donald Trump).
Keep Your Belt On, We Hardly Know You
We understand the breast milk is for your baby
you have a nipple piercing, it’s okay, we get it
Unless your leg is broken, no x-rays!
we won’t feel you up
even our security theater is invisible
we don’t want to see your toiletries
growler friendly, 3.4 ounces our ass (growler illustration by Chris Pecora)
