WASHINGTON (CNN)

A day after federal warnings of possible hijacking threats, key Democrats vowed Wednesday to block any Bush administration attempt to cut back the air marshals program launched as a security measure following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. ---

Congressional Democrats say they have tried five times to increase funding for TSA but have been rebuffed by the administration and their Republican colleagues on the Hill on each occasion.

"The bottom line is the Homeland Security agency is like the proverbial bed where there are five children and enough covers for four," said Schumer.

Boxer said it would be "irresponsible, not cost effective," to cut back on airline security at a time of heightened concerns over terrorist attacks.

"You cannot put a price on American lives and what this would do to our economy," she said.
