By what measure do the senators presume that TSA adequately protects aviation?
TSA misses 95% of all test weapons used to evaluate TSA's effectiveness.
But it's not to hard to kill everyone on a airliner by blowing it out of the sky.
By contrast trains don't have anywhere near the same risk exposure, so 3% of TSA's budget sounds about right for protecting trains, subways, buses and ports.
The senators need to be concerned with way more pressing problems like the 35,000 to 40,000 Americans killed in car crashes every year.
Heck lots of pedestrians get killed by cars. Using the senators logic TSA should be protecting sidewalks too.
I have visions of Joseph McCarthy methods and the 'Red Scare' of 1947 to 1957.
After an investigation by the Watkins Committee, the Senate voted to 'condemn' McCarthy by a vote of 67-22.

Just your basic government fear mongering.
