tsa was a very important year for the direction of tsa. not only did congress pass and the president signed the tsa modernization act. but tsa also developed a strategy to 2026, and its administrator intent to guide the execution. during 2019, we have focused on implementation. tsa has completed more than 46% of the 180 requirements mandated in the act and 53% of those with specific deadlines. completed -- requirements rave range from a global aviation review. establishing a surface transportation service advisory committee. when mr. perkowski testified before this committee last september, he described the efforts tsa was taking to rapidly advance tsa's acquisition of computed tomography screening systems and credential authentication technology. -- allowed tsa to more easily identify potential threats -- and more automated ways, enhancing both the effectiveness of our screening processes and the passenger experience. thanks to the support of congress, tsa awarded a contract for 300 ct machines and 500 count machines and beginning deploym

the tsa modernization act but tsa developed a strategy through 2026 and to guide the execution. during 2019 we focused on the implementation. tsa has completed more than 46% of the 180 requirements mandated in the act and 53% of those met the specific deadline. completed requirements range from global aviation review to air cargo division establishing a surface transportation security advisory committee. when it minister pekoske described the efforts to rapidly advance tsa's acquisition tomography screening system and credential authentication technology. it allow tsa to margot identify professional threats and less invasive mourad invented ways in the most effective of our screening processes in the passenger experience. thanks for the support of congress tsa awarded a contract for 300 machines in 500 cat machines and is beginning to climb point me traditionally consistent with the tsa modernization act requirement for. check in 2019 we successfully conducted pilots to two airports for significantly higher throughput for clear check only lanes. we are encouraged by results of a

bill, the tsa modernization act. the modernization act includes provisions to streamline acquisition, expand the precheck program, support the screening partnership program, mandate more rigorous background checks of airport workers, strengthen airport access controls and enhance security in public areas of airports. thus far, tsa has done an admirable job of responding to the myriad directives and reporting requirements of the bill. however, i remain concerned about the pace of tsa's deployment of new screening technology. the rate of the precheck expansion, the seeming lack of urgency for implementing screening partnership program reforms and the absence of a skp comprehensive plan to integrate the registered traveler program with credentialed authentication technology systems. i hope our witness today will address the agency's progress. in addition to this act, implementation, the committee will also exercise oversight on reforms to existing security programs, notably the passenger screening teams. in february adm

the tsa is reducing our alliance and equality annualization. finally, it's part of the constructive over a billion dollars of court houses and budgets on schedule. but the last two years, gsa as made some qualities of this committee and working on these issues. moving on to today's topic, i like to share some context that is important. one of the long-standing priorities of this committee is to address the repair and problem at the old post office. this effort recorded in the old post office and the directed tsa we will maintain our federal ownership any facility. pursuant to the act, it conducted a full and open competition in 2013 with a 60-year lease in the policy and it pays rent and a potential revenue sharing and the american taxpayer. this joint effort created of substantial benefit for the government and taxpayers. prior to relive element they, operate the facilities of significant loss. including six and a half billion dollars in 2007 alone. today, as a director of the act, instead of a multibillion operating loss, they now receive 3 m

heather: let's talk about what did not happen, the passenger somehow was able to get through tsa and this marijuana on board the flight, how did that happen? >> well, tsa sometimes can't catch all contraband coming on board, heather, i think that this was really sort of a slip in the security system and we just can't have that anymore. essentially this rule-making which is 252 says that you can't smoke on aircraft, you can't smoke cigarettes, cigars, you can't vape and definitely can't roll up a joint and smoke it because it's all about the smoke and the smoke detectors, heather, this came from air canada crash 797 on june second 1983 and that's when we really started to really put smoke detectors in aircraft, we also put lighting on floor of aircraft and also fire fighting equipment for crews to put out the fire because that was a horrific fire that had 46 passengers and we lost 23 because when we opened the door, heather, the plane became flashover and we don't have airplanes blowing up in big flames. the evacuation came into play and that came in when we saw 214 on july and people

an interesting fact we found -- most of you know that tsa was recently unionized. before tsa was unionized, we found a report in some minutes of homeland security. homeland security alone, before tsa, had 62 members of homeland security full-time working on union business, getting paid to do homeland security work. comes right from their own notes. that is just shocking. now, the reason i'm not revealing other agencies' numbers is because they don't reveal them. they don't talk about how many employees. nationwide, that 23 million man-hours is just staggering. and i'm being redundant because it is mind boggling at this time in our society that we do this. it is called official time, and it is part of the u.s. code. by the way, for those of you who want to know, it's 5us3171 on the federal basis. number four, unions corrupt our political process. government unions are not just bankrupting our country. they are also compromising our system of free elections. government unions use bought and paid for politicians to pass legislation granting them unending benefits. gov

what it should force us to do is to rethink the way that tsa and the faa, the two primary organizationsle for screening potential airline employees, how they do that vetting, how they do the background checks. there's some gaps. there's problems with the way they do it. >> neil: and they're charging this guy was militarized during that time and others say he was more radicalized going in as a mechanic. but it's scary. >> right. it's -- who it's someone radicalized in a terrorist sense or whether it's somebody starting to have personal issues and that will impact their ability to think rationally and may lash out because of gambling or substance abuse. the problem with background checks and vetting is that it's not an on going process. the applicant comes in, he wants the job. or she wants the job. you do the background check. maybe you do civil criminal. maybe the fbi depending on the job does the background to some degree. that's it. they get hired. the problem is you have to continuously update that. that should include social media, a review of that person's social media usage. it's

software is only being used at the gates and only on international flights for certain airlines but tsaants to expand wall flights, even domestic and that causes privacy concerns. it is pretty simple. rather than showing your passport and ticket at the gate you file for a photo and customs and border protection send the image to the cloud where it matches it with a picture of who they already have, typically from your passport. cvp says it delete pictures of us citizens after 12 hours but images of some aliens can be held up to 14 days, maybe longer. they haven't outright said they would never share that data with other federal agencies, writing only authorized personnel and representatives of approved cvp partners will have access and only cvp staff and personnel may have access to the cloud database. the aclu says there need to be laws limiting the technology. >> congress never clearly authorize the tsa to use the technology and it is not ready for airport use. we haven't debated the privacy concerns and we don't understand what the agency wants to do and how they will be using this d
