We didn't get questioned like this ourselves but coming back from NY the train was stopped for over 2 hours while they went around the train and then interrogated and searched a few people in the "restaurant" car. A half hour was just waiting for them to even get on the damned train! After an hour and a half they stopped yelling to stay seated and just started yelling to stay in our own coah.
