I often hear at home from folks who are frustrated with their experiences with air travel and airport security. We have an opportunity to address part of the problem to reduce flight times, prevent involuntary bumping, save fuel, reduce emissions, reduce the number of government employees, and save money both in the public sector and out of our constituents' pockets. The FAA is spending billions of dollars attempting to implement new technologies and next generation air traffic control management systems. They are failing. Right now, we have the 21st Century AIRR Act, which is a step in the right direction. It is going to unleash American innovation and allow us not just to catch up with other countries but to surpass them. It is about American jobs. It is about providing the American public with the service they deserve. I urge Members to support and advance the 21st Century AIRR Act. ____________________
