security and access in our airports and frankly not satisfied with the progress in addressing the security issues, i requested an independent review in 2014 of all airports with the transportation security administration presence. released this spring, this independent report by the g.a.o. found that while t.s.a. has made some progress in assessing risk to airport perimeter and access control security, the agency had not taken new or emerging threats into consideration as well as the unique makeup of individual airports and their points of access in those individual airports in their unique perimeters surrounding those airports. updating the risk to our airports with information that reflects the current threat ensures that t.s.a. bases its risk management decisions on current information and focuses its limited resources on the highest priority risks to each airport. further, g.a.o. found that t.s.a. has not comprehensively assessed the vulnerability of commercial airports systemwide. in fact, from 2009 to 2015, t.s.a. conducted these comprehensive assessments at only 81 of the 437 commercial airports nationwide, or 19%. and that's cumulatively. some years that assessment only occurred in 3% of the a

the transportation security administration is a perfect example of big government's failure to address complex problems facing our nation. since the tsa's creation, its cost to the american taxpayers has nearly doubled, with a $4.7 billion budget in 2002 ballooning to a $7.55 billion -- i should say budget in 2015. during that same time, american citizens have been forced to endure invasive and humiliating violations of their privacy, and their fourth amendment rights. for the sacrifices of constitutional liberty and taxpayer money, the tsa has only failure to justify itself. a recent internal report from the tsa showed that the administration failed to stop 95% of the weapons that inspectors attempted to sneak through airport screening stations, as part of their regular audit program. we are not content with mere security theater at the expense of passengers and taxpayers alike. as such we call for the abolishment of the tsa and call upon private airlines to take responsibility for the security of their passengers, balancing it against customer satisfaction as only the free market kno

committee held hearing that examined the extent of whistleblower retaliation in the transportation security administration and the department of interior. extending the probationary period by making them at-will employ eds further exacerbates a problem that could clearly exist across a variety of agent significance. there's also no evidence that an across-the-board extension of the probationary period for all federal employees in all occupations is required. the oversight committee has held no hearings on that matter. both the merit systems protection board and the government accountability office have studied agency use of the current one--year probationary period. interestingly what they found was the that managers and supervisors have not been effectively using that one-eye probationary period to identify and remove underperforming employees. so why should congress actually double that probationary period from federal employees if msbp and gao are telling us that mappingers are not even making sufficient use of the current authority of a one-year probationary period? shouldn't congress be exploring way

transportation security administration. and to take that expertise on behalf of the american people and as they say throw the baby out with the bath water, say to the courts that do not have a discernible expertise, judges are quite skilled, but they are not the experts in every aspect of how this government runs, members of congress have to brief themselves to be able to assess what is going on in the government, and we have that responsibility. but you are asking the courts now to undo everybody regulation and become the expert on federal land, public land, on environmental protection agency issues, on health and human service issues, on issues dealing with homeland security, on issues dealing with education. this is untenable, mr. chairman. this will not work. and i want to cite from you a number of groups that have come together, a coalition for sensible safeguards saying that congress should look for ways to identify gaps and new safeguards for the public. this legislation does the opposite by ensuring more delays. let me clarify their language because i will go further. i would be willing to looking at filling the holes

the greater resources to agencies that protect us. thatw with great regret the administration released its proposed budget for 2017 and it for manyunding transportation security programs. this place asin well as in the administration we fail to match rhetoric with resources. example, the reductions in the transit security grant program, the urban area security initiative, the state homeland security program, these programs are probably unknown to most americans, but they are vital to protecting our homeland. i want to thank you also for supporting the initiative that senators durbin and i have been to persuade more or lines -- airlines to reduce or eliminate checking baggage which would reduce the burden on thereby enable us to do resources.te more i want to focus for the moment on priorities and practices. my experience is there is all too often a failure to follow the stated priorities and practices that are articulated at the highest level. it ministers and said that it wants to deport felons, not families. but the actual enforcement record often belies that statement. commonly, the stated priorities are inconsistent with the actual practices and enforceme

the face of that threat. i know with great regret the administration released its proposed budget and it slashes funding for many transportation security related programs. all too often in this place, as well as in the administration, we failed to match rhetoric with resources. and i think that, for example, this reduction in the transit security program, the urban security area initiative, the state homeland program, these are probably unknown to most americans, but they are vital to protecting our homeland. i want to thank you also for thatrting the initiative senators markey and durban and i have begun to try to persuade more airlines to reduce or forinate their fees checking baggage, which would reduce the burden on tsa, and moreby enable us to devote resources to the work of tsa that is so vital. and i want to focus, for the moment on priorities and practices. my experience is that there is all too often a failure to follow these stated priorities and practices that are articulated at the highest levels. the administration has said it wants to deport felons, not families. but the actual enforcement record often belies that stateme
