Live to a hearing on the House Homeland Security subcommittee live here on cspan. Has grappled with for years.

Every day tsos stream screen millions of passengers and luggage securing the threats from aviation security. Behindthescenes air marshals, tsa inspectors and other essential workers perform equally Crit
