Looks like carrying a knife on a train will get you
busted, too. "Take this train to CUBA!"

ADDS INFORMATION TO CLARIFY MAN ARRESTED HAD NO
CONNECTION WITH TERRORIST ATTACKS IN PICTURE RISM105
TRANSMITTED WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 12, 2001--Providence
police lead Sher Singh in handcuffs away from the
train station after an Amtrak train was stopped in
Providence, R.I., Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2001. Singh, a
member of the Sikh religion, was arrested Wednesday
for carrying a knife aboard an Amtrak train from
Boston to Washington, D.C. Police determined Singh had
no apparent connection to Tuesday's East Coast
attacks, but charged him with a misdemeanor weapons
violation and released him Wednesday night on his own
recognizance. Singh said he carries the blunt, 3-inch
long knife, known as a kirpan, as a religious symbol
of strength. Police found the knife after stopping the
train to question Singh and three others. Of the four
men questioned, two were wearing turbans, but the
Providence police chief said he did not know if their
clothing led to their suspicions. (AP Photo/Stew
