21. "Gun scanning" This requires them to allowed DECLARED AND CHECKED firearms.
Right now illegal firearms CAN BE CARRIED because there are no "gun scanning" that is a separate issue.
To comply with this bill they simply need a procedure where Berni can bring a unlocked and and unloaded firearm to the ticket counter. Declare it, lock the case and have it checked.
Amtrack allowed this for decades prior to the Madrid bombing. They stopped it as a feel good, do nothing policy. As you pointed out illegal weapons can be brought on board right now because they aren't screening. The policy change doesn't prevent that but it does prevent those who comply with the law from using Amtrack.
