So that's something.
It's still not clear to me why the "oversight" committee is having such a hard time actually overseeing the TSA. Can't seem to change a darned thing about it.
How many hearings do we need?
They are having a hard time because Rep Peter King, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, provides authorization oversight of the TSA. At the FY 2012 budget hearing shortly after the new Congress took office, he told Nappy and Pissy that his committee was the only one providing oversight of the TSA. So, King gave them the top cover they need to blow off any other House Committee. Pissy has taken full advantage as recently as last week when he blew off Mica's hearing on universal pilot licenses. Worse yet, Mr. Speaker is allowing this to happen. Bohner could fix this with one conversation.
