INTERVIEW –CONGRESSMAN DARREL ISSA – U.S. Representative for California’s 49th congressional district, serving since 2001.

• ISSA wrote in his CNN oped: “TSA’s defenders point to budget cuts and staff layoffs to justify the agency’s poor performance, but if declining budgets are the cause of our problems, then airport security privatization just might be a perfect solution to help the TSA do more, with less.”

• ON MONDAY: TSA head of security forced out amid furor over long airport lines. The Transportation Security Administration’s head of security operations was removed from his post Monday, law enforcement sources told Fox News. The departure of Kelly Hoggan was one of a series of shakeups at the agency amid a furor over growing security delays at American airports.
