mr. hernandez and the ohs who were shot, they are heroes, but too often unsung. unfortunately, i think too many people -- and i have seen this in this congress -- continually attack and denigrate the work at the tsa. recently in 2012, the republican national committee's platform called for federalizing or defederallizing the tsa and privatetizing the tsa, and i think we all need to take a step back in our comments about the tsa and just attacks in general on the federal work force. these folks are doing a public service. they're doing it oftentimes as much less money than they would receive in the private sector and, again, they are the last line of defense. and i don't think our comments are well served. i think they can create a culture of hate toward people who are working in very stressful environments dealing with the passengers, myself included, who are not always on our best behavior as we are rushed trying to make our planes. it's a very difficult job, and i hope we can all just be mindful of that job. in light of that, administrator, i do want to talk ab

mrs. hernandez. what you address is one of the things the working group we establish internally and in discussing with the aviation security advisory counsel and the broader community what would those cost look like. i don't have it right now. if we, for example, reduce the response time from five minutes to three minutes. or how much additional it would cost? how much should be born by the federal government in term of leo reimbursement agreement. and how much would be worn by the local airport. how can we buy down the risk? and part of the discussion we had last week armed officers at and through check point that may be doing other things. there's a number of things i have to get back with you on that. >> let me make formal request the inquiry be made. but put in place. it's no doubt that the presence and the quicker response of armed law enforcement is part of the solution. certainly the slowings is not armed tso officers in the small area they have to deal with innocent traveling passengers. let

mr. thompson is no recogniw recognized >> i would like to join my colleagues in expressing sympathy to officer hernandez wife, children, friends and family and all of the employees of the transportation administration. i am joining the chairman and congresswoman waters in introducing a resolution to condemn the shooting at lax. it appears that the majority leaders protocol will not afford for the resolution to be considered on the house floor. to administrative pistole please note and take back to the workforce that this committee stands with the agency in this trying time. the shooting that took place at lax was a tragic act of violence. all evidence points to a shooter with extreme anti-government views and exclusively targeted tsa employees. these are some of the federal officers for protecting the nation against terrorist attacks. i hope it will result in less rhetoric about deeming transportation officers. and it is my hope that tsa takes a look at how such an incident can be presented and mitigated in the future. i applaud administrator pistole of announcing he is going to conduct a review and for
