SENATOR BLASTS TSA ADMINISTRATOR FOR NOT DELIVERING REPORT TESTING AIRPORT SECURITY VULNERABILITY


241215tsa

The committee hearing centered on efforts to prevent attacks on transportation infrastructure in the wake of the Brussels terrorist attack on March 22. Neffenger was in Brussels when terrorist attacks on the airport and subway system killed at least 26 people last month. He was actually at the airport the day of the bombings, arriving as the bombs exploded.

“As you noted Mr. Chairman, I was at the Brussels airport the day of the bombings. I was there for meetings with a number of my European counterparts. We arrived right as the bombs detonated, and I will tell you being there on that day, seeing the devastation, seeing the chaos of the airport environment and the evil behind it was a stark reminder of the important work that we do at TSA everyday to protect travelers,” he testified during his opening statement.

With big transit questions pending, Cuomo hails a ‘very attractive’ bus


a - MTA bus

 

New York City is getting some new buses, and Governor Andrew Cuomo — a noted gearhead — thinks they’re lookers.

“I’d like to congratulate the MTA on the design of the bus,” said the governor, at his office in Midtown. “I think it’s very attractive. It has that European flair to it. I think it has almost a Ferrari-like look.”

The day after advocates traveled to Albany and demanded Cuomo explain how he plans to fund his portion of the MTA’s belated and still-unapproved $26 billion capital plan, Cuomo held a press conference to tout one element of that partially funded program: more than 2,000 new buses by the end of the decade.

“These are not going to be your father’s buses,” said Cuomo. “You know, it’s a new day.”
