Cloudy. Humidity still very high for some. Thundershowers in the mountains. 50s, 60s on the temps. They are cooler. Wind directions either north or south or west. Just depends. Its all over the place here. But the upper air is coming up from the south and that draws in some of that moisture even though we have he sunshine in the morning and clouds in the afternoon and the low will continue, just influencing our weather here for the next few days. 60s, 70s, 80s, a few 90s. 6 01, sal. And the traffic is what. Moderate, getting heavier. We are seeing a lot of slow traffic. We have brand new crash in Solano County in fairfield. Westbound 80 where highway 12 comes into it. Highway 12 at red top road. Its reported to be an injury crash involving three vehicles and traffic is going to be slow in the Cordelia Junction area. You dont need help there, usually. Its already heavy. This is 80 westbound, it 1 minutes. Remember, yesterday, it was taking four or five times that amount because of a cou
Officials at tsa, and employees are scared to report problems, fearing retaliation. One employee says he was instructed by management to racially profile somali americans. A report from the Inspector Generals Office concluded they have a serious staffing problem, losing more than 100 airport screeners every week. This is 2 25. Committee on oversight and government reform comes to order. Without objection, the chair has authorize zed to declare a recess at anytime. We have an important hearing today examining the Management Practices and misconduct at the Transportation Security Administration, the tsa. As we enter the summer travel, Many Americans are headed to the airport. We get a lot of people coming in from overseas who want to travel domestically, but have a lot of americans taking their families or going on business, the whole array, everything you can think about. The numbers are pretty amazing, how many people travel on a daily basis. But often when they get there, theyre findi
Changes put into these airports, the rationale behind some of this stuff absolutely makes no sense from a security standpoint. Riskbased security is a title thats slapped on everything. And the motto is from the Previous Administration theres never been a risk i wasnt willing to accept. Its like dealing with a Financial Investor. You give a Financial Investor 100,000 of your money and he or she will do things with it they would never do with their own. Thats one example of the logic that goes in and the thought process that goes in. One of my counterparts took a survey over a period of five months with calls that we have with tsa leadership prior to mr. Neffengers arrival. There were 147 topics discussed, not one was security related. They may have talked about playbook or some security aspect but there was always a metric driving it and it was a running joke. This is the priority of that leadership. Let me jump to another point here. Can you walk us through the process that tsa engage

Not be here right now and thats reflective upon that leadership. And i dont think there is a day that mr. Neffenger doesnt come to work and just he didnt get full disclosure when he took the appointment, probably, and god bless him for being here and hes trying to cheerlead this. Thats why were at where were at. We did not have a plan b when we put in plan a. Mr. Lynch mr. Chairman, i want to thank you for your indulgence. Mr. Mica let me turn to mr. Palmer. Mr. Palmer mr. Rhoades, i believe you used to work alongside former acting head ken casprisin at minneapolisst. Paul. Hes stated before that thousands of airport workers who are only subject to random checks are the single greatest threat to aviation security. Now t. S. A. Employees are regularly rooted out from being caught rummaging through baggage or for inappropriate behavior which is obviously good were catching them. My concern is by these reports there are only three u. S. Airports that currently require employee security ch
