percentage were producing 53% of the arrests and the majority of the arrests and found schools that were 4, 5, blocks away and other his almost no arrests. we did a lot to pair those schools up to do better development and training and the teachers and principals to drive down the arrest rates. the answers are out there and they are getting the right amount of places. i don't think these were handling those who struggled. looking at the counsellor and social worker and something like that.

good afternoon. i wonder if in light of the sobering data, there will be guidance from the department regarding measures and policies and districts maybe able to address the discipline data that we just noted without necessarily resorting to pushing more student out or other ineffective techniques. >> this is happening on an ongoing basis both in the technical assistance and rti. if you are asking guidance under the civil rights laws, yes, we are working on that to ensure that schools know what their responsibilities are under the civil rights laws.

we want to be clear when we are talking about discipline rights that give rise to the level of the civil rights violation, based on at least my anecdotal experience and we are studying the data, we made these data available to you in realtime as they have come to us. our first step is to dissect them as much as possible. the civil rights violation is going to arise where you are talking about students being treated differently, for example, when you have the same offense and the same history and the same circumstance and different punishment when race, for example, is what is the differentiating factor when disciplinary actions are instituted. right? that is hugely important. we are moving on it aggressively working to ensure fairness.

we have a much deeper problem that is not just or in all instances about race or exclusionary treatment based on a protected class. they reveal problems with school and classroom management and culture. things like pbi or positive intervention supports and rti and strategies to help ensure healthy and safe learning environment for all students showing where in-school suspensions ensure that students can learn while disciplinary while being disciplined for any infraction are also important to showcase. civil rights enforcement and ensuring folks have the resources and the supports and the strategies to deal with these very, very local and community and school-level problems is what we are dealing

with now and will continue to do moving forward. >> thank you. thank you all of you for helping us start. thanks for having us today. transportation security administrator is taking questions at the press club and from the national governor's association a look at promoting entrepreneurship and job creation. >> i hope as we move for the in the world there a number of problems we have to resolve. i think diplomatic solutions are going to have to be the answer in the future as we start to

deal with the problems coming. >> the first african-american to serve the house from new jersey. elected in 1988, he was the former head of the congressional black talk caucus. watch his speeches from the house floof and other c-span appearances archived and searchable online at the c-span video library. >> c-span's cities tour takes our book tv and american tv

it's time to introduce our head table guest and i ask each of you to stand up briefly. from your right, bloomberg. >> washington bureau chief, time-warner cable. wz d.c. telemundo. dave nicholson, tsa acting chief of staff. michael bolden, "washington post." tsa deputy administrator. allison fitzgerald and speaker committee chair. i will speak our speaker for a moment. chris mclachlan, office of security operations. al jazeera. rachel oswald, global security news wire. nathan hurst, cq roll call.

. >> as the "new york times" noted, soon after he became the fifth head of administration in jlt of 2010, john is the unwitting face of everything americans hate about airport security in a post 9/11 world. every time we are asked to take off our shoes and pull out the laptops or submit submit to a pat-down, we have his agency to blame. he spent most of his career chasing the bad guys and he can take it. as he toll the times, my hope is whatever people want to call me, they recognize we are doing everything we can to work with people to provide the best possible security. the son of a church of god minster, he graduated from anderson university in indiana and indiana university law school in indianapolis. he joined the fbi in minneapolis. he went on to work in new york

before moving to the bureau's headquarters in washington to supervise organized crime. since 1999 when he helped lead the inquiry into the crash of egypt's flight 990, he worked on some of the nation's highest profile cases involving national security. after the 9/11 attacks, he was put in charge of the fbi's counter terrorism branch eventually becoming the bureau's director of counter terrorism and counter intelligence. he led was was involved in high profile investigations including the 2003 suicide bombings in saudi arabia and the break up of a plot to bomb new york city subways in 2009 and late they're year, the case of the would be underwear bomber on the detroit-bound jet on christmas day. he took part in the attempted car bombing in times square in 2010.

he was named deputy director and serving in the number two position when president obama tapped him to fill the top spot of the tsa. today he oversees 60,000 employees who provide security at more than 450 airports and through the federal air marshall service. his agency is also responsible for the security of the nation's highs, ports, mass transit and pipelines. since taking over nearly a decade after the 9/11 attacks. they worked to resolve the one size fits all of 1.8 million people a day into a more intelligence-driven base on risk. he had to answer to angry travelers and about pat-downs, chat downs and naked body scans. i'm sure the administrator will have much to say about all this. welcome our luncheon guest, john pistol.

>> thank you for most of that. it has been described in a lot of different ways and that was a lot of things that are coming together now. it is an honor to be here and i appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and speak on the continuing evolution of the transportation security administration. our place in the global counter terrorism community and the latest efforts to strengthen security through the ongoing developments and implementation of the risk-base intelligence-driven initiatives. last fall we marked the tenth anniversary of both of 9/11 attacks and the legislation known as s tsa. passed by the united states congress in november 19th, 2001 signed by the president several days later. both as an important part of our country's response to those horrific attacks.

tsa was created through the legislation and we continue to be proud of how they were staff and operational in less than one year. many americans, most americans don't know that the building of tsa required the largest and most complex mobilization of the workforce since world war ii. as administrator, i have been privileged to know and work with a number of dedicated individuals who know our agency's story better than anyone because they helped write it. dedicated public servants like secretary warren panetta and later became the deputy secretary at the homeland security. administrators from the coast guard and the next three administrators.

also on the list is also there at the start.st one of a handfu servants given the urgent task of standing at the new security agency whose sweeping mission has been to protect the transportation systems to ensure the freedom of movement for people in congress. also note that they served as the active administrator and the american people are more secure because of her outstanding service. at the core, the con70 risk-based security demonstrates a progression of work and tsa has been doingade of service to american people. it's an understanding and really an acknowledgement that we are not in the business of eliminating all risk traveling from point a to point b. risk is inherent in everything we do. our objective is to mitigate

risk and ensure that the potential for anyone to commit an act against the system is mitigat mitigated. before i go further, i want to take a moment and mention another anniversary within the tsa family. last friday, march 2nd, the men and women of the federal air marshall service who compromised the primary law enforcement component celebrated their 50th anniversary. safety inspectors for the customs agency, the first class of 18 peace officers were sworn in and began building a legacy of protection that today's officers uphold every time they board an aircraft. while the core mission to protect and fly has been constant over the years, the air marshalls have an ever expanding role and they work closely with other agencies to accomplish their mission.

air marshalls have key partnering such as a national counter terrorism center and on many of the fbi's task forces around the country. they are also critical part of the partnerships that are essential to nearly everything we do in tsa. to help set the stage for the emergence of the intelligence driven, it's helpful to take a look back and recall what they looked like prior to the september 11 attacks. as you are aware, what was in place bears little resemblance to the strong system in place today and that's true when we talk specifically about security. before september 11 there was one, no cohesive system against terrorist watch lists in advance of flying. two,nhnology for uncovering the wide array of

threats and we saw how effective they were or were not. no comprehensive federal requirements for carry on baggage. four, min cal inflight security on most flights and five, from intelligence coordination standpoint, before 9/11, there was a lack of intelligence in both directions from a federal level to the airports and from an individual airport to the national level. as teresa mentioned, i came to the fbi more than a year and a half ago in the variety of positions at the fbi almost exclusively in matters post 9/11. that experience with a range of partners in the law enforcement and intelligence communities in the u.s. and overseas shaped my approach within the national counter terrorism. every day we strive to ensure or operational planning and decision making process is timely, efficient and

coordinated as possible and critically based on intelligence. we worked to share critical information with the shareholders and many of whom are here today and we are constantly communicating with the frontline officer who is shift briefings held several times a day. thanks to some of these affected partnerships, including the airline and airport partners, and with law enforcement colleagues at every level, tsa achieved a number of milestones in the first ten years of service. these include matching 100% of all passengers flying into and out of and within the united states against government watch lists through the secure flight program which was previously one button. it includes screening all cargo domestically and as you know we work closely with the international partners every day to screen 100% of high risk inbound cargo on passenger

planes and working hard with the same partners to screen 100% of all international inbound cargo on passenger planes by the end of this year. it also includes an aviation security through technology that provides baggage screening for explosives. i do want to touch on security transportation and mention our viper teams. officially since 2006, they completed more than 190 base line assessments for security enhancement that prois a comprehensive assessment for programs. we are seeing the benefits of how these steps combined with

the multiple layers of security across the sect tors that include the opportunities we have for cutting the technology to keep america safe each and every day. since the stand up in 2002, we screened nearly six billion passengers. six billion passengers. the frontline officers prevented the weapons from entering the aircraft. in fact, more than ten years after 9/11, they detect on average between three and four firearms a day and carry on bags and security check points around the country. the good news is that is down slightly. deploying advanced technologies and continue to factor significantly into the multilayered approach. in particular, we see the advanced imaging technology or ait machines and hundreds of

passenger check points around the united states. from a security perspective, the office of the assessor general assessed the manner in which they inspect and maintain and operate the machines. they found they were in compliance and the standards with radiation exposure and safety requirements. as a result of intensive research, analysis and testing, tsa believes the health risks from screening with up greats and security systems are miniscule. a finding made by the army health command in a report made last month. there is no perfect technology, but they give the best to detect the device such as we saw on christmas day 2009, including the other types it of devices which we are concerned aboutcon.

they are strengthening the features of the machines and we maintain the ability to up great and told them to stay ahead of the landscape. it enables us to keep an important advantage. around 2011, ait and others helped detect hundreds of dangerous or illegal items on passengers. not just carry on, but passengers. these good catches illustrate how effective the people and processes and technology are found and concealed with the items. many of them are uploaded to tsa

and there have been items to cec don't show up as metal to exotic pets strapped to passengers's legs. as strange as they may be, they are a stark reminder of more than ten years after the events of 9/11g to bring deadly weapons and other items on the aircraft. all sorts of weapons every day in keeping all of them off of the planes. they detected 19 guns around the country. 1,306 were detected in 2011. it's an important note that while working hard to deploy the latest technological advances to secure transportation, we made steps for passengers screened

with it. the software upgrade enhances protections by eliminates passengers and instead is playing a generic outline of a person. we know that this software makes a process more efficient. any time they strengthen security and prois enhanced protection and gives greater resource efficiency, that's a winning form. as good as they are, these technologies do not stand alone. that's why we continue our efforts to strengthen where the standard operating procedures are plout the airports are secure. in 2011, they introduce several

new concepts including the identity of airline pilots and screening. adjustments for children 12 and under and the use of behavior detection techniques. to provide a most effective security in the most efficient way. one side fits all was necessary and has been affected. thanks to two key enablers, technology and intelligence went towards a model. they are enabling us to be resources on the passenger who is propose the greatest risk. including those on the terrorist watch list while providing

screening and perhaps a better travel experience to those we consider lower risk more trusted. we begin implementing this idea and since then at the airports we are currently expanding, more than 460,000 passengers have experienced physical screening and the feet back we have been getting is positive. the success in the airlines and airports and customs and border protection. the airlines work with us to provide eligible passengers and working with them they are able to extend the benefits to any tuesday who is in the trusted travel programs. i encourage to 99 who is interested if you get accepted, you get benefits at

participating airports. they have 35 bisyest airports and because we have done prescreening before they get to the airport. by evaluating new ideas and adding the screening process, we accomplished several things. this allows our officers to focus attention on travelers we believe are more likely to propose a threat. it is not only good for transportation aviation security, but the travel experience for the 1.7 to 1.8 million people who fly in the u.s. every day. later we will begin to evaluate until it changes to check point procedures. ourab
