Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta told a House subcommittee that federal aviation security goals will likely miss the year end deadlines for screeners and explosives detection. He blamed Congress for delaying funding and tightening its controls on the TSA’s $3.85 billion package, warning of possible long lines and a national embarrassment if timelines collapse.

Grassley led a Republican $340 billion plan with a $24 monthly premium and $250 annual deductible, plus 10 percent of costs above $3,700. The Democratic $594 billion government plan capped at $4,000 yearly and sunset in 2010. Grassley urged bipartisanship.
