The number of unmanned aircraft systems, commonly known as drones, in our Nation's airspace is increasing.

I think that we're going down the wrong path to be honest with you.

I'm concerned about that is because the materials needed to build those batteries--actually, the raw materials, actually, 80 percent of them are controlled by China.

I disagree with your analysis that somehow electric cars are zero emission. There's nothing that's zero emission because they get the electricity from something that is producing CO2.

I'm an all-of-the-above kind of energy guy, OK? I also believe in that never let perfect be the enemy of good.

I am just saying that if the majority of the people don't know they are carrying a gun and it is an honest mistake, then we need to have more signage.

How in the world was the gun not visible on the X-ray? How was it that that gun got through and the X-ray operator didn't see that there was a gun there?

There has to be, I think, the solution to this for 90 to 95 percent is greater signage.

I am not sure where heightened penalties are going to avert that because it was a mistake.

Our dedicated Transportation Security Officers continue protect the traveling public, day in and day out. They deserve better pay that is reflective of the immense value they provide to our aviation system.

TSA must ensure that its workforce has what it needs in next-generation Computed Tomography technology to accurately find firearms and other prohibited items in carry-on bags.

There has been a concerning rise in the number of firearms that TSA officers have found at airport security checkpoints Nation-wide.

TSA cannot continue to delay and slow walk this needed investment in airport checkpoints Nation-wide.

This is not a gun control issue. This is an education issue.

I look forward to hearing from the witnesses today on how a security incident like the one in Atlanta can be prevented in the future.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Madam Speaker, the woke left have stood idly by as rabid criminals have embarked on an all-out assault on our police officers. Rather than standing up for the brave men and women of law…

And one thing you can do is actually tell people why it is important to put on it airplane mode.

Well, I guess we got caught up in the race to 5G.

Life has been hard for the American people as President Biden concludes his first year in office. Unfortunately, too many in this Chamber have bowed down to the most radical fringes of the Democratic Party. The sad reality today is…

I have no questions at this time. Thank you.

Whatever you do, please, please, please be very cognizant of the fact that if you raise corporate taxes or if you do something to make us less competitive economically, that's going to reverse many of the benefits from the CHIPS Act.

Well, I mean, if you don't have a containment vessel that actually can contain the reaction, everything else is moot, right?

Transportation workers are crucial to the country's movement of goods, services, and people.

TSA employees should have the right to choose if and when they will receive the vaccine based on their personal health considerations.

I doubt that is going to work.
