since the inception of the tsa we have spent about $95 billion just on tsa alone. the cost of islamic terror to the civilized world is enormous. so if you are really want to talk about addressing the root cause of the problem, it is we have got to defeat islam terrorists, where they reside. but again, i appreciate all of the witnesses' testimony. the fact that we consciously made a decision to decrease the number of tsa workers obviously didn't work out very well. i appreciate the fact that we're beefing up training. unity effort and all of these are positive signs. i appreciate the fact that mr. peter neffenger, you are working with the inspector general and the gao and it comes through clear in testimony. so i apologize for being late. i do ask for you to consider my opening remarks and my written opening statement be included in the record and i'll turn it over to senator carper and catch my breath. >> mr. chairman, we're glad you're here. we had a couple of trains that were shot out from under me coming out from delaware so i know the feeling. thank you all for

it cannot all be on tsa, admirable neffenger, congress needs to assure that tsa has resources it needs for mission. i just want to say, folks, you're going a good job with respect to funding levels for tsa and the bills move us and move tsa in the right direction. we need to enact those bills, but airport and air carriers have a important responsibility to reduce wait times as well. i've been very encouraged by the willingness of private stakeholders with whom we've met to step up and contribute resources and ideas to solve this problem. a longer-term solution is being demonstrated, we just talked about. and in the spirit of find out what works and do more of that, tsa launched a similar initiative last month, innovation lane, there's a couple of them down in atlanta. i'm sure we will hear more about them today in partnership with tsa and airlines. and while that concept shows great promise over the long-haul airline, they've taken a number of other steps that can make a difference now such as reassigning employees to help tsa in some places. perhaps the most important step we can take

>> so they train with tsa, they train at the tsa academy. they train to same standards and you have a federal security director, a tsa employee, who managed the contract of that work force or worked with the contractor to manage the work force. so they should be performing to the same standards across the system. >> so there wouldn't be innovation on part of those partners in terms of screening, they're done the exact same way? >> it currently is. >> with that process, they're required to do it the same way. >> there's a set of standards provided you're right, yes, sir. >> senator peters? >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'd like to thank our panelists for being here today and for your work. this is obviously, tough work and the fact you have to find a needle in a hay stacked. if the needle gets through the impact could be catastrophic. we appreciate your efforts to keep us safe but also moving through efficiently. we have heard the horror story of chicago, the delays that occurred there and happened on a few occasions. but i want to get a sense

and you know, also fair warning here the tsa i think any objective reporting of the tsa over the last weeks would say that they have done everything they can to alleviate the terrible delays that we've seen at airports around the country. we have not seen lines in excess of 40 minutes at any airport over the last three weeks or so. that those hour, two hour long waits we've seen else where they had dealt with that. so this being an extreme situation and should not be categorized as a failure of the tsa in my view, because they're dealing with an emergent police situation on the ground that is necessitating to rescreen everybody for their own safety. this is not failure of the tsa by any stretch of the imagination. clearly, if you are going into love field, you are going to be looking at a significant delay tonight and you might even consider whether you want to rebook if that's at all possible. southwest airlines, by the way, which is really the airline that owns more or less love field is putting out tweets saying get there in plenty of time and be prepared for delays and check with

tsa suggests joining tsa precheck where you submit information online and go to a tsa field office to pay your $85. i did and after waiting weeks for an appointment i went to sign up at a center in oakland to show my passport and pay my money so i could speed through the airport security. but when i got there shortly before my 1:20 fixed appointment, i was told that they were running 20 to 30 minutes late. lit take another 30 days to get my trusted passenger number. >> homeland security was to get ta -- 25 million people to sign up for the tsa check that would cut seriously in the line but 10 million have signed up, some saying the $85 has the reason why. >> i don't think i need it at this point. i don't have that much trouble to warrant that much expenditure. >> the other issue, it doesn't always work according to this frequent flyer. >> in some cases it does help but more and more people are getting tsa secrets and taking longer. >> and about 10% of the time this lady has been put in regular lines and not tsa prechecks. >> you don't have a lot of people that i know that do the tsa p

today tsa gave us a look at the challenges it faces keeping travelers safe.ummer travel is expected to surpass the record-setting spring season. tsa has screened 449 million passengers in the first five months of this year. at some airports, passengers recently complained about long lines at security checkpoint causing delays and missed flights. tsa today gave us an update to make sure travelers know how to prepare for security we asked some travelers here at dulles. do you know why they ask you to take off your shoes? >> well, i suspect that there's a possibility that there could be hidden items that could be a threat to national security or those in the immediate area. >> reporter: three years ago, someone tried to detonate explosives hidden in their sure. this is a replica of that shoe bomb. there's explosives down here. >> reporter: do you know why tsa asked you to remove your laptop through screening? >> no, actually i don't. >> in this specific instance, a bomb maker has replaced the battery back with explosives. >> reporter: why do you think tsa requir

john: think about the tsa. americans assume airport security is something that must be run by government. tsa screeners are slow, sometimes rude, and random tests show most of the type they fail to find forbidden items. i think tsa stand for thousands standing around. now airlines warn security lines will get even worse this summer. so many airports want to switch from the tsa to private airport screeners. >> the tsa chief is in washington to meet with airport officials after wait lines got so bad they may replace the tsa with private screeners. viewn * a few big cities did get permission to try something different. the lines are short at france airport. they move quickly and passengers say the screeners are nice. >> people here are friendly and willing to help. >> they are a little more understanding. >> ebb is a lot more friendly than dallas. reporter: dallas and the other big airports employ government screeners. san francisco was allowed to hire screeners from a private company. they were twice as good at f

two months ago we were talking about tsa hines. two months from now, we talk about tsa lines. do you want safety or freedom to move? you have a chase to make. >> even in the mumbai attack, they put bombs in taxis. sent out the taxis that then exploded in different parts of the city that allowed them to get throughout the area. >> soft targets are the soft because they are welcoming to the public and the public wants them to be welcoming. as we go visit family and friends. instead of thinking a sim solution, we have to look at the issue overall. engage the public as we try to do. and then just realize that part of the balancing that phil is talking about is the acceptance of that level of vulnerability

not tsa pre-check folks.one of the things that we've got to do is quite the responsibility, but the numbers you just cited up to 60,000 per week. tsa was at 5000 weeks. we are triple that. we want to continue to do that. tsa used to have a marketing program. they haven't used that for a while and i think they are ripping not up to get the message. pretty good tv commercial. could be 10, 20, 30, 40 minutes. people zipping by through tsa. a great commercial, very easy to understand. they've got a tough job. all kinds of people want to get through the security. we've got to make sure nobody gets through is going to create the shepard may have on an airplane. there is a tension that we have to deal with. you've got a terrific leader. some of the problems the ad as you mentioned or management problems. they should've known it should have staffed for it and the failure of leadership in that instance and the leadership has been changed and that is good. they are doing some very adjusting things as you know in terms

>> i think tsa will need to run better.nd however that happens, with our support and the government together in a collaborative fashion, that would be terrific. and if privatization is a method we've worked before, i think the trick at the end of the day is we have a lot of customers and a lot of humans trying to get to a place, a. b, backing them up into an unsecured area also creates a level of safety -- a level of danger that i think we have to be concerned with. >> by the way, before you go, is there a best time to travel in terms of bargains? i suspect it's not between memorial day and labor day. that's peak season, isn't it? >> yeah. >> so prices may go up. >> it's a capacity and demand issue, right? just think about the common aspect about the business traveler traveling on a monday and a friday sort of thing. those are not necessarily great times. off days. again, it's all demand and capacity driven. >> we'll leave it there. good to see you. oscar munoz is the president and ceo at united airlines. >>> let's get a ch

an x-ray screening machine tsa officer started looking at the view screen, what that officer saw washey weren't supposed to see what they saw was a loaded gun. tsa removed that weapon from the carry-on, then the officer inspected it, realize philadelphia did have 11 bullets in it, one, was in the chamber. spokesperson for the police department here at doles, identified 52 year old leroy of woodbridge, charged tonight with class a misdemeanor possession of firearm, how much, at this point, we are told by the tsa once the gun was taken away from glaze this determine no long area security threat, allowed to board his plane and go on his way. >> the gentlemen was from woodbridge, and his gun was con face kate dollars. and he was cited by the airport police. >> was he allowed to board a aircraft and fly out of here? >> after he no long her the threat items, the gun, he was permit today fly. >> now, tsa tells us that if you are a gun owner, you can fly, as long as you check that unloaded weapon, into a locked container, and identify it, at the baggage check-in area. you can read all of the

they're not security or tsa. she is law enforcement usually representing the city or the airport authority. so one would suspect in this case that is what we are dealing with here. an airport officer or city police officer felt the need to draw his weapon and fire right there at love field. love field, of course, not the busiest airport in dallas. dfw is the busiest. love field is a very very -- you might call it a commuter airport. it services southwest airlines, it's an important hub for southwest in the southwest and throughout texas. >> right now, we're looking at the dallas news website, this is the dallas morning news website that is reporting an officer involved shooting, is what prompted this lockdown that took place within this last hour at dallas love field airport. we are told that officers responded at roughly 12:20 p.m. that would be exactly 30 minutes ago with their guns drawn. we played this video, you heard the shots fired, nine perhaps ten shots all fired. at least one authority was seen yelling

tsa monitoring the situation. they are not involved at this point as we continue to watch the story unfold. we'll bring you the latest we get. >> apparently, this suspect may have been throwing large rocks at that female. before the shooting happened. and one thing we have been monitoring and'ing from our live picture coming out of dallas love field is a car with large rocks next to it. do we have that image? we don't have that, but if you're looking at your screen, you can see the white mini van or suv then the black car we have been talking about is just in front of that out of the camera shot and earlier, we had a tight shot of that and it showed a bunch of large rocks right on the outside of that car. so that's the latest information coming in now that possibly, that was the way in which this man was assaulting the woman. we're not sure. >> wanting there was a man with a rock in his hand maybe coming at the woman, so you can imagine what the scene was like. i think that's probably what we heard with people say

is that at curbside where people drop off or tsa security checkpoint. those are areas that are ramped up as the tsa airport police work together to try to buy down risk, recognizing you simply cannot eliminate all risk. there's no 100% solution here. >> no, there's not, but we can do our damndest to limit it. occasionally i am in new york or elsewhere and see a strong military presence, i see troops in fatigues, rifles at the ready. and i see more than one team of two at various stops along the way, usually close to curbside. i wonder if that is going to be more of a reality than just a special occasion because i've seen it in a lot of other countries where that's just the norm. you have troops, troops are at the airport. it's almost a million tarized state when you get to the airport. is that where we're headed? do we need it? >> that is a possibility. almost always airport police and some have a dedicated police force, some use local, city police and things as shared responsibility. on occasion there will be ramped up security, often times national gu

fbi, joint terrorism task force are hammered in what they can do. >> are tsa not armed. >> no, tsa officerst checkpoints are not armed. >> what can they do. >> they work very closely with airport police clearly all the large airports there are dedicated police officers who work closely with tsa in terms of identifying suspicious behavior, activity. they do -- i think that's what we are going to sees a we go into fourth of july weekend, people are traveling. we will see additional airport police random patrols. bomb sniffing canines. vehicle stops. >> the problem is that these killers have no sense of survival themselves. they just go in and want to kill. they don't care if they go in and blow themselves up as they are doing it. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> and donald trump says he has the key to winning over senator bernie sanders supporters. well, you will hear straight from trump next. managing my diabetes has been a struggle. i considered all my options with my doctor, who recommended once-daily toujeo®. now i'm on the path to better blood sugar control. toujeo® i

but that's where the tsa ends. tsa doesn't cover out to the street or baggage claim once you get there, a huge vulnerable and the area is area of attacks in the past around the world. i mean, a very serious one happened in rome a number of years back. and the bag claim area very vulnerable, too. but in the united states situations like that, we had a shooting in los angeles. at the ticket counters. so about ten or 12 years ago. i mean, these things have happened before. fortunately they're very sporadic and rare and despite having them happen in the past, a solution is still quite elusi elusive. >> mary, we have the breaking news on cnn. shots fired at dallas love field. one man was taken to the hospital. it is an officer-involved shooting there. and there were a number of eyewitnesses including bryan armstrong who took video. he joins us now by phone. bryan, this was chaos and very shocking. i heem sure people were upset as this was unfolding. bryan, are you there? all right. apparently we don't have bryan. we'll

the us security, tsa's checkpoint is the first line of defense.he idea would be to extend ha possibly beyond that security checkpoint. maybe it is the front door of the airport. perhaps it is the airport. the department has not come up with the most effective way to go about this, because, think about that. it would be a logistical nightmare. you need the manpower to do this, first of all. you need the money to do this. then, you have loads of passengers, possible missed flights. how do you make this all work where you extend that security line without affecting the operations of the airport. that's the problem. >> it really is a problem. you can see how that works. >> the security at ataturk airport is quite different than what people traveling through our airports are used to. >> that airport is the last point of departure airport, direct flights that fly to and from to various cities within the united states. because they do have these direct flights, they are upped strict guidelines from the at the present time of homeland security with regard

a new problem with the tsa security check points.ou can stand in line while atexting to make sure you don't -- attempting to make sure you don't stand in line. let me explain. recent long lines at airport security check points have led to an increase in enrollments in the tsa precheck program. however, thousands of fliers enrolled in the traveller program aren't getting the expedited screening they paid for due to clerical errors. with reservations the most common problem, is their date of birth or government known traveller number has been entered incorrectly into the reservation system. another issue, sometimes a name on the itinerary doesn't exactly match the name used to enroll in precheck. time is running out for those holding on to sports authority gift cards. the company said the carts will be -- cards will be honored online and in stores through june 28th. take a look at the calendar.(6÷ this is june 27th. so if i were you, i wouldn't mess around. use those cards tonight just to be on the safe side. you may remember sports au

federal regulations comply with tsa security protocols and regulations. so quite literally, tsa officers and liaisons go to these overseas airports and ensure that they are, that their security is up to u.s. standards before any flights can fly directly into the united states. so i would make that point to you. lastly, egyptair, two more points, pardon me. egyptair canceling their wednesday flights now into istanbul. that is not a long hop for egyptair. as the point has been made, istanbul is really a main transit hub for traffic between europe and into the middle east and into asia. so you will likely see other airlines doing the same. i did want to make this point. the state department just yesterday warned u.s. citizens of increased threats from terrorist groups throughout turkey and to avoid travel to southeastern turkey. that is on top of a travel warning that came out back on march 29. it is no secret that this has been an area of great heightened security concern and in recent months, attacks that have targeted areas where tourists frequent so toni
