I agree with your whole statement, but disagree if it is broken up into separate parts.

Passenger vector terrorism is equal on trains and planes (and busses to a much lesser extent). This is the TSAs area.

Infrastructure damage is much higher on planes, but this also applies to the 10% of flights that are cargo and the TSA has no influence.

    For whatever reason it's just not equal in the US as far as I'm aware. Maybe it's a benefit of a society who thinks trains are lame.

    When the train's average speed is 50mph and no-one uses them then the target isn't big enough for large scale terror.

    Your position is very confusing.
