IIRC the TSA occasionally sets up airport style security checkpoints at train exits. A search of HN should show some examples.

VIPR is what you're looking for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_Intermodal_Prevention_...

It's not exactly airport style - at least in NYC and Philly they swab you for explosives and check your ID. No X-Ray or nude-o-scope. You're free to not go through the checkpoint (but you won't board your train).

Boston police (or transit police) does this randomly on the MBTA train system.
