Yesterday with both the House and Senate in session there
were 44 bills introduced. Of those, one may be of specific interest to readers
of this blog:
It is interesting that this bill was only referred to Thune’s
Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee and not the Homeland Security
and Government Affairs Committee. According to a Committee press
release:
“The legislation addresses
deficiencies in the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) efforts to
protect rail, transit, highway, and maritime passenger and freight
transportation identified through congressional oversight and a recent report
by the Department of Homeland Security inspector general.”
The details of this bill will be interesting, but it will be
unlikely for the bill to get through both the Senate and House before the end
of the session in December.
