I caught only the last 10 minutes or so of the hearing. Does anyone have a link to where it might be re-broadcast later?

Going by the doc I read, not even sure there's an offense for simply refusing screening. There's a hindering the process without contact. Between that, and the (possible?) lack of measurable expense, not sure anything would even stick.
