Yeah, I don't really know how much security these things are supposed to have. The only time I ever handled one it was alone in the center of our short train, with idler cars on either side, and a caboose, with the specific instructions to inspect the car quickly when doing our departure brake test and absolutely no photos. We had a couple of riders in the caboose. And special instructions in our train documents not to place the car next to a car load of film. As if I knew how to differentiate a boxcar load of film from all the other boxcars on the railroad. That was 15 years ago.
