But we have--we don't have that in place.

And here we are in 2016, 15 years after 9/11, we don't know who's going in and who's coming out.

Well, again, I want to know who has the card and who is getting access.

One of the biggest failures is the most recent report that we had. And the DHS, Department of Homeland Security inspector general found that 73 individuals with links to terrorism passed TSA's vetting process.

Unfortunately, even 15 years--2001, this is 2016--15 years later we still seek a system that has not complied with the laws that we have passed multiple times with the requests we've had, and we see failures.

We have an important responsibility in transportation oversight, and that's to make certain that the laws and all of the caveats that we set forth for public agencies, particularly for security and safety, are complied with by agencies.

Is there any progress you can report, speaking of liquid bombs?

I remember when we looked at it after 9/11, the direction to pilots, and we actually read from the manual for dealing with hijacking, was to land the plane in Havana and contact the Swiss consul there.

We don't even know--well, 10 percent of them we don't have Social Security numbers of.

Do things change much?

That's troubling, even when you have the systems.
