Transportation chief cites Congress hindering airport security efforts
Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta told the House subcommittee that lawmakers are undermining TSA security deadlines by approving an anti-terrorism bill that provides 4.4 billion dollars less than requested and caps personnel at 45,000. Rep. DeFazio countered that Bush administration cuts are to blame, while lawmakers demand better documentation of funding needs. The panel noted TSA tests showing failures at major airports and criticized timelines for replacing screeners and inspecting bags. Accompanying Mineta were Deputy Michael Jackson and James Loy, as Magaw’s successor.
