Updated its concept of operations to focus on riskbased deployments. The question is, have the events of the last two months since the budget was released convinced the administration that doubling of the vipr program is needed to address current threats . I appreciate the Attention Congress is giving to tsa resources and i will tell you this, mr. Chairman, if i were to receive more vipr teams, i would be aible to put them to use you an put them to use across the transportation system. I would be able to deploy them more effectively with our partners in the surface world and would deploy them to more public areas of our aviation environment. Let me just ask one last question here in the year past year and a half, we have seen repeated abuses of airport cita badges that grant airport workers access to secure areas of the airport, badges used by airport and Airline Workers to bypass tsa checkpoints in this case facilitate criminal activities like gun and drug smuggling.
