Logjam blocks federal aid for first responders
Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge told a House hearing that a distribution gap between states and localities delays federal funding for police, firefighters, and other emergency responders. He defended an $40.2 billion DHS budget with $8 billion for reimbursements, while lawmakers noted many towns and counties have yet to see promised funds.

Airport screeners face high turnover at top hubs
Agencies and lawmakers warn turnover of TSA screeners totals 14 to 36 percent annually at large airports, leaving gaps in security and longer passenger waits. GAO cites low pay and undesirable hours as key reasons, with 11 of the 15 busiest airports short of staff. TSA plans to hire part time workers and deploy a traveling screening force to ease gaps. Privacy advocates urge delaying a new passenger screening program until privacy and effectiveness are assured, with concerns about cost to the travel industry and potential privacy risks.
