F.M- the "electronics and train stations" scenario you described didn't happen within the past 6 months-- in fact, Operation RAILSAFE and TSA's enforcement- in varying degrees across the country- of trains with the Federal Railroad Administration has been going on for years.  So, no- your response didn't answer the question (that I asked to the other poster): That the TSA hasn't started doing anything within the last 6 months that they haven't already been doing for years.

"I could have also mentioned having to take off shoes as well as no liquids above 3oz..."

-- you could have, but that, too, would have proven my point:  those two TSA policies have been around for years, and no one- specifically the author of the opinion piece- should be a stranger to those.  The other poster stated: "just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...." The natural response to that should be that they in fact haven't.
