This week, with the House finally getting back home for
their ‘District Work’ week after ‘restarting’ the government, we have a rather
short list of Senate hearings this week. Only one of those hearings may be of
specific interest to readers of this blog; surface transportation security.
On Tuesday, the Transportation and Merchant Marine
Infrastructure, Safety and Security Subcommittee of the Senate Commerce, Science,
and Transportation Committee will hold a hearing on “Surface Transportation
Security: Addressing Current and Emerging Threats”. The witness list is short:
• David Pekoske, Administrator,
Transportation Security Administration; and
• John Kelly, Acting Inspector General, Department of
Homeland Security
While there are a great many topics that could be discussed
at such a hearing, I expect that what ever short comings the IG report has
identified in the much-overlooked Surface Transportation Security wing of the
TSA will be the main focus of the hearing. I was hoping that a copy of that report
would have been available today, but with the short Federal Financial Fiasco
2018…… (that will be the oft stated excuse for a week or two).
