Sen. Charles Schumer is calling for better rail security now that the raid
on Osama bin Laden's compound has turned up plans to attack trains in the
U.S.

Schumer said Sunday that he will push for the creation of a "do not ride" 
list for Amtrak. The list would be similar to the no-fly list that keeps
those suspected of terrorism from flying into or out of the United States.

Notes and computer materials seized from bin Laden's compound in Pakistan
last Sunday showed bin Laden wanted to strike American cities again and
discussed ways to attack trains.

Schumer is calling for increased funding for rail security in light of the
new intelligence.

The New York Democrat says the U.S. must remain vigilant in protecting
itself from future attacks.
