HR 4005 Introduced – Port Security Report

This week Rep. Hahn (D,CA) introduced HR 4005, the Gauging American Port Security (GAPS) Act. The bill is short and to the point. It requires the Secretary of DHS to conduct a classified study of the gaps in the current port protections programs and propose methods to correct the current deficiencies.

One small problem with this bill; this study does not technically fall within the requirements for it to be classified. ‘Sensitive Security Information’ (SSI) certainly, but not classified. Oh well so much for technicalities, if this bill is passed the report will certainly be classified.
