The next step for the Transportation Security Administration is to be at every transportation checkpoint. They've already experimented with that, but I assume the only reason they haven't moved faster with that is because they haven't received the necessary budget, and there may have been some local outrage where it happened.

But don't for a minute think they haven't thought about expanding themselves like that, and that they won't keep trying.

Look up 'VIPR teams'. They have already started doing operations at bus and train stations. If you live in the US you might want to talk to your government representatives if you feel uncomfortable with living in a police state, as it's damn close to being in one if not already there.
