Trailer-on-flatcar (TOFC or piggyback) service is a form of mixed train and truck transportation that enables a carrier to transport a trailer and its contents over rail on a flatcar and then to haul the trailer on the highway. The shipment remains within the trailer during the entire journey. The Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) prohibits states from regulating this mode of shipment since the ICC has extensive regulations in the rail and interstate trucking industry. Discuss the constitutional implications of this decision.

 A) cannot be prosecuted in those countries.
 B) are immune under the act of state doctrine.
 C) are subject to full prosecution, fines, and imprisonment.
 D) None of the above
