    Yeah. I don't know which agency handles security for congresscritters, but if you're making death threats it's probably pretty easy for the police to figure out who you are. The Secret Service is pretty reliable about showing up at your front door if you even joke about hurting the president, but I don't know how seriously threats against Congress are taken.
