It's also much easier to get SWAT onto a train or ship or stadium. Airplane over a city has only one option.

Oh, and only one of these things will be heading for Congress potentially.

I was very surprised by a recent shooting at Chicago Union Station: Amtrak finds out this murderer on the run is taking a train across the country arriving in Chicago. They don’t tell anyone on the train this, they don’t intercept the train in the middle of the night in a small town - they wait until the guy detrains at one of the busiest stations in the country before chasing him and shooting him. Bizarre.
