mr. johnson: this hearing is necessary. i think it is unfortunate that some information was leaked prior to our ability to completely analyze it. we want to make sure that as we are asking questions that we do not reveal classified information. the fact of the matter is if it will solve any problems we have to recognize the reality. we have to describe it. the purpose of any hearing is that in the end, following the hearing, every member of the audience takes the first step towards solving any problems -- admit we have one. i have been thinking about the struggles of tsa since it was first established. understanding how it has got two missions, and they are completely contradictory. on the one hand, we're looking for 100% security. all public transportation would hundred percent safe and secure. on the other hand, we are looking for complete efficiency. it is an enormous task. because of leaked information inspector general roth, i commend you for your attendance and taking a hard look at this. we are finding out that contr
