You dont have enough resources. You have to get the airports to do it. And they are doing that, airport by airport. Will give us the report. Thats coming your way. I wanted to give you good specifics from the vulnerabilities system that we conducted so i could give you specific answers airport by airport to exactly the question youre asking. Those are all do this week as the deadline for getting those inches will compile them and get it to the committee. Why havent that been done in time to report to this committee .

Just outside the town, and those are the things im concerned to have you all been able to better coordinate with the First Responders and with the state coordinators, First Responders . We have. I have said to the railroads i think notifications of First Responders should be a priority, we have an emergency order that went into place in me 2014 i remain simplistic we have reiterated its importance with the railroads.

It was a catastrophic event for the food system. It also involved intentional conduct by the owner and operator of that facility and well publicized subsequent criminal prosecution and conviction. You know, the the what this will do even in that situation is provide a much stronger basis for inspectors when they go in to facilities to not be reliant just on looking around at the facility conditions and with no access to the records of the facility, now well have a much stronger ability as investigators to go into facilities and make assessments of the sys
