was the original intent when they first came up with this, i think after 9/11, then we have another lockbox problem. no lock, no box, just -- slush fund. that's what worries me. >> you are exactly thinking along the same lines i'm thinking along. however, in this case, even the increase we are paying doesn't pay for all of tsa. a lot of what we have to do is look at tsa and rein in the spending there. we have fewer travelers today than we had five years ago because of the cutbacks and the economy. and we have a bigger tsa budget. it just doesn't make sense. we need to look at something to actually help the economy, help generate more revenues and to change the economic outlook of the united states and rather than taxing part of the economy, which actually helps us, i think we can get the money from some other areas. >> not now. maybe later, charlie. but thank you in the mean time looks like we lost this one. >> thank you, sir. house speaker john boehner going off of on conservatives today who think that this budget deal is a raw deal. >> you mean the groups that came out and opposed it befo

also an american citizen, have agreed that we would take our personal data and put it into a pile, a lockbox that would only be looked at when we had reasonable and articulable suspicion that we had connection to a foreign al-qaeda or related terrorist group and look into that box. in 2012, we had 288 such selectors that we could go and look into that. that is it. of the billions of records, only 288. and with that, we had tremendous oversight. when you look at the amount of oversight from this committee alone and from others, from within the d.n.i., the department of defense, with our own director of compliance, with our own general counsel and with our own i.g. and with all of our compliance individuals at every level, everything that we do on this program is audited 100% on the business record fisa. 100%. the data is kept separate from all of the other data that we have. i think it is important to understand that the leaker did not have access to this data. period. the technical safeguards that we have there ensure that no one else gets access to it and no one can get a query unless it go

i thought we had put the nuclear option in a lockbox, locked it up and thrown away the key. i thought we had come to agreement as a united states senate that the damage to our nation and its citizens in employing the nuclear option was too great a price to pay. that's what i came out of that meeting believing. that's what i continued to believe as i talked to my colleagues on the democrat side of the aisle. so what happened? if the agreement wasn't violat violated, if people were living by the agreement and a whole host of nominees had gone through the process, some of which i didn't like a bit but they got the votes necessary, they were confirmed, they had gone through the process. so what was different about a couple of weeks ago versus when we walked out of that meeting that evening? well, i'd ask my colleagues' thought on that but i think i know what that was about. and i'm going to continue to talk about this in the days ahead as we talk about this nuclear option and what it's doing to our country. what happened is this. obamacare started to roll out. now, i remember th
