After New York Attack, Congress Wants TSA to Secure Amtrak, Buses - Bloomberg

'The U.S. Transportation Security Administration is one of those federal agencies that tends to inspire intense reactions among the traveling public. '

'Virtually all this occurs at airports, with about 80 percent of the agency’s $7.4 billion budget spent on aviation security. '

'Amtrak wouldn’t be required to use TSA watch lists or other resources, but the bill would force the TSA to give the rail operator access to its Secure Flight program within six months, if Amtrak directors requested it. '

'The TSA is developing a risk-based security protocol for all transport modes and for allocating its budgets. '

'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. '
