A House subcommittee examined how airports and airlines are being impacted by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening procedures that have resulted in long security lines, missed flights and passengers being stranded at airports. Witnesses included local airport officials from Tucson, Arizona and Syracuse, New York, and Chicago’s Aviation Department. Also appearing was an American Airlines customer service representative and the president of the federal employee union that represents TSA security officers. They offered their recommendations concerning TSA staffing, expanding the passenger PreCheck program, privatizing airport security and granting more flexibility for airports and airlines to make local security decisions. This hearing of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation Security is chaired by Representative John Katko. close
