Amtrak Photo Contestant Arrested By Amtrak Police At New York Penn Station

Duane Kerzic was on the public platform in New York's Penn Station taking pictures of trains in hopes of winning the annual photo contest run by Amtrak. Amtrak police arrested him for refusing to delete the photos. We need security at our transportation hubs but security agents may go too far in some circumstances. Hopefully this will be dismissed and will be treated as just an unfortunate misunderstanding, it seems that no one was hurt. I never had a problem with Amtrak security or security in general at Penn Station. The security presence is high at this station, it's needed.
