'Your papers, please' must never be heard in America

An attempted arson attack on a railroad link in Germany's capital with three separate explosive devices was thwarted Tuesday, police said. It was the third in two days targeting railroad operations in and around Germany's capital.
A railway employee found the explosive devices placed on cables along a track in eastern Berlin on Monday morning and alerted security, police spokesman Ivo Habedank said.
It was not immediately clear how much damage they would have caused, but there are no houses or busy streets nearby, Mr. Habedank said.
