AMTRAK GETS REWARD FOR WORK WITH DEA
The Albuquerque Amtrak office provides federal drug agents with
details about suspect passengers, and Amtrak police get 10 percent of
any cash agents seize from arrested drug couriers, the Albuquerque
Journal reported Wednesday.
A computer linked to Amtrak's ticketing terminal sits on a desk at
the local branch of the Drug Enforcement Administration, in what
officials describe as a one-of-a-kind arrangement, according to the
newspaper.
