Very well because i fly american every week. Thank you very much. My name is carrie philipovich testifying on behalf of airlines for america. Thanks for inviting me to discuss the impact tsa security lines is having on our customers. Theres nothing more important to the the Airline Industry than the safety and security of our passengers, employees and cargo. We have never seen tsa wait times that affect airlines and passengers throughout the United States like weve seen in recent months. Without immediate leadership, the 231 million earn a americans that will board airplane this is summer will be frustrated and angry. Last year, programs that had been in place were eliminated without adding resources required to support longer passenger processing times. The as a result that screening process caused unacceptably long security lines and a frustrated flying public. Our discussions with tsa revealed three other contributing factors. First, it appears tsa did not adjust its staffing model
We are working to ensure similar promise responses to the needs and concerns at Midway Airport. This response was possible because Congress Approved tsas reprogramming request and we were grateful to you for taking that quick action. To ensure transparency, we will be releasing a biweekly score card showing average and maximum wait times, staffing and resource levels provided by by tsa. In the short term, in order to manage the spring and Summer Travel season ahead there are a few Critical Resources and management steps that we need to ensure are reallocate passenger screening canine teams, ensure tsa is transparent about its staffing allocation models and level, transportation transparency helps us better predict potential staffing strategies and shortages. Provide federal Security Directors the ability to make local decisions about manpower, allocation and overtime. Ensure checkpoints are open on time or risk playingup all day. Screen line tsa preenrollment process. In the long term,
