"TSA should be directly responsible for comparing passenger names against the No-Fly List."

"But bottom line, Mr. Pistole, you have been a superb public servant, in my opinion, and while others have left for the private sector, you continue to devote your career to keeping our country safe."

"The final issue that I want to raise with you is one that we have also discussed in my office, but I want to get on the record."

"TSA performs a critical role in protecting us from these attacks."
