created in the aftermath of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. 9news now reporter surae chinn is live at reagan national airport with more on this story. surae, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to both of you. there are plenty of tsa workers here at reagan national at this hour. but the creator of the transportation safety administration after 9-11 is now blasting the very organization he founded to keep air travel safe. >> the government has failed. >> reporter: tsa's performance, a d minus is what florida congressman john mica gives the agency he founded. it is too large, too reactive and too bureaucratic. he says figuratively, when you have an agency as large as the army, you're going to have personnel problems. there have been agents arrested for stealing, such as $40,000 from passenger checked bags and he's been criticized -- the tsa has been criticized for extremely controversial pat- downs. >> at 9-11, it wasn't the private screening that the airports were conducting that failed. it was again, government had failed to put any protocols in place. if you look at every major failure, richard reed with the shoes, if you look at the diaper bomber, you look with the liquid bombers, if you look at flying cargo planes, over populated areas, all of those, those incidents took place -- we had to react afterwards. >> i think that would be a hard thing to prove that we don't need it. >> now, what started as a $2 billion agency was a -- with a staff of 16,500 has turned into $9 billion and 63,000 people. with the tsa. back to you, mike, andrea. >> ok. >> wow, that's a big jump. >> one of the other things people say we have not been hit by a terrorist attack on our soil so that's one side of it. the other side is the congressman thinks the tsa should be dismantled or what is his solution? >> he doesn't say it should be dissolved. he said tsa had to be created at some point after 9-11 but he just believes that it should be streamlined. that there should be a target. a specific focus instead of 63,000 people, 4,000 to 5,000 people. instead of what he calls a human resource factory. mike, andrea? >> wow, thanks, surae. powerful words there. she's live at reagan international airport. >> they have solved a murder case by focusing on the victim's own family. 75-year-old kwan per lived in the river run senior apartment complex in

obama scares them every single day. >> this debate took place in tampa, florida. the site of next year's republican national convention. time for the latest "your money" report of the morning. >>
