"It is well within the authority of both the Congress and TSA to provide TSOs the same workplace rights and protections as other Federal workers."

"justice delayed has been justice denied to the TSO workforce."

"Increasing staffing resources is certainly a good thing--but only if the proper vetting and training occur before more TSOs are added."

"I think we ought to look and see if they can make a contribution toward this effort to alleviate the wait times."
