A trip I do relatively frequently for work is Boston to San Francisco - 10 hours of travel or so from the moment I leave my front door to the time I'm in my hotel room. Just looked up making a similar trip with Amtrak - 75 hours and 25 minutes for *just the train ride*.

Any reasonable person knows that a 3-day train ride is not acceptable any more. And on top of that, the feds are whispering about rolling out the same technology at train terminals. Then what is the option?
