security although as most associate us with but if you think of the surface transportation and i am happy to say to all of your work with the departmentf transportation is very strong we reinforce each other. think of a coin on one side and to have a safety impact and then to have a security impact so it's important to stay closely aligned with each other it's a privilege for me now on the aviation and for the balance of my remarks i will talk about cybersecurity the aviation industry is a great industry those partnerships across the board so that means the government makes better decisions and then we implement them together with the same understanding i found that aviation industry to be incredibly innovative with a high level of innovation across the entire industry include passenger transport and that is important to us because we in tsa i would submit to all of you a very innovative federal agency the only federal agency that has the innovation and doctrine that says this is how we approach innovation and what we t will do these are the guidelines and characteristics understands for some key principles and i firmly believe those

at federal oversight that is a role that is important and why we are independent of the department of transportation. we are not part of the department of transportation because we do put up federal oversight. >> i encourage everyone to read the preliminary report on the situation, issued february 23. if you said it lays out the facts, particularly around the wheel bearing, that appears to be where the axle and we'll meet. what comes out even if you don't have huge technical knowledge when you read that report is norfork summer -- southern or any company needed to catch this problem faster. there was not a lot of time to react, they had temperature sensors along the way but by the time they figured out there was an alarm triggered, there was enough time to stop the train. what would it take to detect the wheel bearing earlier? >> great question. what would it take, there could be lots of things we will look at. it was too late. as they were slowing and stopping the train, it derailed. the wheel bearing failed. there might need to be a more conservative temperature threshold the started earlier. some

as the department of transportation considers more regulations. in december of 2021, the system noted that the notice to airmen system was changed to be notice to air mission systems to be quote, more inclusive to all aviators. it was a 2023 faa reauthorization bill. how can we make sure the faa stays true to its mission of being the most efficient aerospace system in the world, as opposed to virtue signaling? >> the position we have had for many years, is that it is a bad idea to have the faa both be a regulatory agency and a technology agency. it's not really good to do both. the recommendation is that we split the faa to a regulatory part and a technology part. the technology part should be monetized. the model for that is air canada. that is where we can make progress. the faa has been talking about reforming the air traffic system for decades. it is behind schedule, and most importantly, it is behind technology. we will get much more freedom to more efficient flight paths to pilots. we don't have that. we still have a radar based system. so, i

the department of transportation is an operating department. the airplanes have to fly. ts have to operate. what you have is a secretary of transportation whose peak experience was the part time they a small town. he has no possible ability to manage this huge complex program. he proved it in the last few months when he didn't know how to respond to the problems that happened with one airline. he did know how to respond the entire air traffic control system was closed down for the first time since 9/11. literally everybody in the country grounded. he didn't know how to respond when we had a train wreck in a small town with a chemical fire. how many times in baseball, that is three strikes. but how many times do you have to watch him to realize buttigieg is a p.r. agent anna goes around applies here and there and makes speeches occasionally. but he doesn't have a clue how to run the department of transportation. for example, i was surprised to learn from him that there are thousand derailments a year. well, if that is true, the program to dramatically reduce that and make
