The confrontation with the train's 'security detail' fits into an earlier impression I got from Salem's opening narration in v1e01. She said that darkness would always return and this little moment fits into my feeling that we're witnessing a time of increased corruption in Remnant. Corporations sneering at the law; governments that are more worried about appearances than the facts of security; areas where there is effectively no law. Those two incompetents being meant to protect however many hundred people on the train are just another symptom.

Was that case at Weiss's feet Myternaster's travelling case? Does Mistral Railroad insist that passengers travel unarmed? Given recent events, that's another example of putting appearances before good sense.
