Public transit systems remain one of the easiest targets for terrorists.
"Since the Sept. 11 attacks, security experts scouring American cities have found that public transit systems are among the most vulnerable and most difficult targets to defend from terrorists. Yet they have received just $250 million in federal funding, compared with $18 billion for the nation's airports.
...But officials nationwide acknowledge that because buses and trains must be easily accessible to riders, it is nearly impossible to completely secure them... Some terrorism experts say the federal funding disparity between mass-transit and air-travel security makes sense because the Sept. 11 attacks targeted airlines and because airports are far easier to secure than subways, trains, buses and ferries."
