SCOOP: I obtained the first estimates of what VIP escort for lawmakers/officials would cost TSA should it fall to the agency to provide the added security. If regular TSA screeners were to do the job: $11M-55M/year If federal air marshals would provide escort: $112M-527M/year

@Oriana0214 So, I'll bet you that Cruz pushes using US marshals.
@Oriana0214 @HC_Richardson Was Mr. Cruz’s request juxtaposed with a soliloquy on the perils of “big government.” It’s early in the day, but I’m brave and ready for some GOP contradiction to get me going.
@Oriana0214 @HC_Richardson Why on earth would federal air marshals cost 10x more? That's ridiculous!
