here as the newseum we like to talk about the media and history and government and news. how helpful or harmful has the media been to tsa's mission? [laughter] >> obviously, the media can do a lot to help inform the traveling public as to what is going on, um, and so that's a positive side of it. i think when we get focused um, on these individual situations that, um, are taken out of context, frankly. so we have nearly 1.8 million people traveling every day that we screen here in the u.s. more than two million during busy travel times. so if you think of how many times over the last six months or year that you've heard something, hopefully, t not something every day. but it seems like there's something once every few week or something. so the context of that is that we have screened, um, going on nearly six billion people here in the u.s. since 9/11, and anytime you take anything where people are engaged, um, with the public six billion times, there's bound to be some things where we could have done a better job. so it's not the media's fault for reporting. my only issue
