Right, TSA won't screen these people any different. If anyone believes that I have some land a couple of hundred miles east of Norfolk for sale.

The committee hearing you linked to is doing a lot of TSA back patting. Nothing substantive will come from this hearing, nor will passenger concerns be addressed, unless they get different members on the panel.
