airport security is pivotal to our nation's security. we appreciate the thousands of men and women who serve at the tsa. they work hard, work -- they're dedicated, committed. they don't know what they're going to see. we have an inordinate amount of guns still trying to be taken through airports. weapons of all kinds. it's a very difficult situation, with literally tens and tens of thousands of security badges that are out there. we need to continue to have a good, vibrant discussion in this country about the safety and security of our airports and how to do that. one of the things i like to say and i've said it many times and i'm sure i'll continue to say it, is we're different in this nation is that we are self-critical. we take a look at our security parameters and challenge the notion that the standard status quo is acceptable. one of the things that stuck out to me in the 9/11 report the commission that came together is that often, government lacks imagination. terrorists who want to do harm and provide mayhem, death and destruction

as i said, we got some major gaps in security. there have been several notable security breaches. i note that on september 14, 2013, a t.s.a. employee was arrested along with five others for participating in a scheme to smuggle undocumented immigrants into the united states. additionally, two airline employees were arrested in december of 2014 for smuggling weapons, guns and ammunition on at least 20 flights from atlanta to new york over an eight-month period. two t.s.a. security screeners at san francisco international airport were also arrested in 2015, march of 2015 for allegedly operating a drug smuggling conspiracy. in addition on march 9, there's a report that was in the press i believe nbc had a story about these 1,400 badges that were -- and these were for security badges for employees to access secure areas, they had gone missing over roughly two years. that was at the heartsfield-jackson atlanta international airport. -- hartsfield-jackson atlanta international airport. in the city of boston, the closing arguments today on the death penalty question for one of the marath

security plans. you do need to understand how you're going to respond to something if you have an event. you need to have a common set of standards across the systems. those standards may differ from mode to mode, but they should be consistent within the mode. they should be based upon what we understand of the threats and they should evolve over time. because the easiest security system to defeat is the one that assumes that you have the answer right. and then there are a lot of partners involved in this as well. what is the connection to your private sector partners, and how are those connections and how are those partnerships maintained over time? i intent to look very hard at this, if confirmed. >> well, i'm asking for a commitment that you'll give us some time lines as to when there will be compliance with the law. that seems like a basic request. can i interpret your remarks as a yes? >> i will look hard at this law and how tsa has addressed its commitments and responsibilities under the law. a

security plans. you do need to understand how you're going to respond to something if you have an event. you need to have a common set of standards across the systems. those standards may differ from mode to mode, but they should be consistent within the mode. they should be based upon what we understand of the threats and they should evolve over time. the easiest security system to defeat is the one that assumes that you have the answer right. and then there are a lot of partners involved with this as well. what is the connection to your private sector partners and how are those connections and how are those partnerships maintained overtime? i intent to look very hard at this, if confirmed. >> well, i'm asking for a commitment that you'll give us some time lines as to when there will be compliance with the law. that seems like a basic request. can i interpret your remarks as a yes? >> i will look hard at this law and how tsa has addressed the commitments and concerns and responsibilities under the l

-- cyber security efforts. by creating that unit within ccips, we were already focus on cyber security, but this is a dedicated unit to make sure that cyber security gets the constant regular security it deserves and warrants. ccips has extensive security experience, that will concentrate that in a relatively small group of people. what the cyber security unit will do -- we are already doing it. it's been in effect now for almost six months. they have been analyzing and providing legal guidance on cyber security issues. to the extent they appliquÉd fettle -- they implicate federal laws. they're working with congress on cyber security related legislation priorities. i have been working with the national security council and others in the executive branch on various cyber security initiatives. most important for this audience, they are actively engaged with the private sector and the public at large to address the kind of legal challenges related to cyber security. i'm happy to announce that even though it's only

security. oam is the largest aviation and maritime law enforcement organization. he served as the u.s. marine corps for 35 years, retiring in 2011 as major general. assistant commissioner alles. assistant commissioner alles: thank you, sir. and good afternoon, sir. good to see you again. you may recall we last visited our site in corpus christi in january. thank you for coming down to see that. i would encourage any members of the committee to come visit our sites. i think that's very beneficial in understanding what we do better. as you noted, the office is a critical component of our later border strategy. the personnel operate 257 aircraft, 283 vessels and sophisticated network across the u.s., puerto rico and the virgin islands. oam's critical and maritime missions fall into four areas, main awareness, investigation, interdiction and contingency operations and national taskings. we not only contribute to the security of our land border, but facilitate efforts with the coast guard to secure

remodelled after the modern day version of the security staff and the national security adviser.hat was of the model that was going forward. a major difference between the two is institutions was that ohs was a creation of the executive order and nsc was a statutory creation that was born out of the national security act of 1947. thus bush had a freer hand to be able to create adapt and to change the ohs than was the case with the nfc. and also because of the ohs was a presidential creag. and not a congressional creation the director of ohs was not subject to the senate confirmation and nor required to be testified before congress when called. this in fact became a major source of frict with the use of budgets. and so news reports regarding the creation of ohs were with concerns and lack of authority for the new ohs director. so both bush and register sought immediately to taft down criticisms and in the weekly address president bush made clear that ridge would have total access here, as well as the full support of the federal government as well as tom ridge would report directly

talk to me about the security that you saw. >> so the security was really extensive. there were two checkpoints that i went through just to get into the parking lot. then i went through a metal detector to get into the building. and so that was one of the reasons why once we were asked to go into the conference room and the doors were closed, there wasn't as much panic as we expected. we knew that no one could get within 50 yards of the building and so we didn't feel like there was an imminent threat to our safety that instant at least. >> you were there covering the event. covering the event because it was controversial. it had been drawing a lot of criticism online and you would assume that these folks because of security presence were concerned for their safety that they could possibly be a target. what were folks inside saying? >> the people inside, what i heard was generally that this was a little bit of what they expected. they were holding this event to specifically do something, cross a red line, they felt like muslims had drawn. they felt like muslims were sa

think even the line between national security and personal security. how we think about our personal safety, safety from crime verses our safety from terrorism or act of war and the motivation behind the threat. does it matter? how does it matter? and that brings up who owes us security? in the traditional contract the sate is empowered and entrusted with the duty to protect us from each other and external threat. think now about companies. the private sector. how much power has evolved into the private sector? some we have given them and some they got technology in the market. what do they owe us? what do they owe you in terms of your security? what is the relationship between the government and the private sector unemployedin providing us as a collective with that security? what can the government demand of the private sector? what can you as consumers demand of the private sector? and finally there is this territorial question that traditional behavior was bounded by territorial boundaries. each sovereign or state had rules and enforcement mechanism

the security officer's injuries are not life threatening. garland police officers exchanged gun fire with the gunman killing both of them at the scene. through out the night a police bomb squad has been using a robot to check for a possible incendiary device. they are concerned the two gunmen could have rigged their car with positive explosives. they evacuated people from wal-mart and sam's club and other businesses. they are not heuer if it is in response to an anti free speech event dating back to january 17th. the event was designed to say you cannot squash free speech from america. today's event was a cartoon contest frof muhammad. our way of life is under attack. she described a scene that a swat team member told the crowd inside the venue they were in an active shooter situation. a security officer was down. the crowd she said began to wave an american flag and began to pray. pray for the officer who had been shot. they were then put on buses and taken away to a place for safety. police conducting one-on-one interviews with everyone as

. >> item two is an ordinance amending the health code to extend the sunset date of the food security task force by three years. >> okay. >> supervisor mar. >> yeah, thank you, chair avalos and committee members. i wanted to say that it is likely that hundreds of thousands of residents, either wake up in the morning or go to bed hungry. i think that the budget and analyst has identified that a quarter of san francisco population is at risk for food insecurety or hunger. and because of the incredible work of the 10-year-old task force, in our city, the food security task force we are much more aware of the huge needs that there are, and especially for the senior and people with disabilities and the children and families that are in need of food and security. i wanted to say that in 2005 when the food security task force was created, by the board of supervisors the charge was to create a city wide plan that would address the food security for all of our neighborhoods and all of our people in the city and since we reauthorized the task force three years ago they have continued to do incr

number two secure communities. security \30{l1}s{l0}\'30{l1}s{l0} was a controversial program that led to the enactment of restrictions prohibition on cooperating with our immigration enforcement personnel in a number of different states and local municipalities and so forth. secure communities would become so controversial that mayors governors were passing laws that prevent a cooperative with us in our enforcement efforts. so it'd be secure communities programs smh and put in place a new program that i believe will promote enforcement so that we can get at the criminal. but the secure communities in my judgment is one of the reasons why we are seeing -- >> you stated your interest just a moment ago at getting at the criminals. i guess it's very much the same as the president purported justification for his illegal amnesty program, that it would allow the focus of prosecutorial resources on violent criminals. it strikes that there's a fairly serious problem with that argument which is namely that the department is
