What we do have should be secure. But it does not mean that we cannot look in an open-minded manner at how we can restore general aviation in this area.

It is very successful. No high-tech cameras can do a better job than us being aware.

We applaud you for that.

I look forward to us utilizing what I think has been very important.

I do believe you did a disservice in the summary and the conclusions that came about.

You are also aware of the inspector general's report that was dated May 2009.

Do you need more funding?

I welcome and appreciate the committee's active engagement with this program, and look forward to continuing our cooperation as we move forward together.

The Chairwoman now recognizes the Ranking Member, the gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr. Dent, for an opening statement.

I would ask unanimous consent to submit that in the record.

We appreciate Mr. Sammon and the work that TSA is doing to allow that process to happen.

I think it is important to note that, if we are to have the structure that you are speaking of, we really need to be careful about discussing security-sensitive information in a public rulemaking process.

Mr. Olislagers, we do thank you for your testimony.

It is a matter of some embarrassment to me that we created a whole Department of Homeland Security, and you all haven't figured out how to get ordinary commerce into the Nation's capitol.

I would think most Americans wouldn't be aware of the potential threat of rad/nuclear materials coming in on an international general aviation flight.

If it was not an accident, meaning some unfortunate pilot that lost their way, but in fact someone who intended to do so, the perimeter entry that you witnessed by video, and the easy access to airplanes, could contribute to that.

You have never been able to justify what you have done here.

I must say I believe that Houston is more vulnerable than the Nation's capitol.
