After NYC Attack, Congress Wants TSA to Secure Amtrak, BusesMonday, 26 Sep 2016 12:20 PM The Transportation Security Administration is one of those federal agencies that tends to inspire intense reactions among the traveling public. It's a bureaucracy that interacts with millions of passengers each day, requiring their shoes, jackets, laptops—and time. Virtually all this occurs at airports, with about 80 percent of the agency's $7.4 billion budget spent on aviation security. Only 2 percent of the TSA's funding goes to surface transportation, according to a report by the Office of Inspector General earlier this month. Congress is looking to change that. Several senators want the TSA to focus more attention and resources on rail, highway, and marine transportation, which would mean greater security oversight at such places as Amtrak stations and Megabus coach stops. www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Congress-TSA-Security/2016/09/26/id/750169/
