Aero-News Quote of the Day

“This report and one TSA fiasco after another have demonstrated that this isn’t the problem of a few bad apples. There are system-wide problems with this massive bureaucracy. In this case, the IG identified deficiencies in how TSA develops and implements changes to screening procedures, a lack of clarity in supervisory responsibilities and insufficient training, and a failure to deploy screening equipment where it was needed, even though that equipment was collecting dust in a warehouse." Source: Congressman John Mica, Chair of the House Transportation Committee, on the release of an Inspector General's report on a baggage-screening incident in Hawaii.
