WASHINGTON, July 13 (UPI) -- The chairman of a U.S. House panel Wednesday chided the Transportation Security Administration, saying he had "deep concern" about security lapses at airports.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's Subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations, said, "First and foremost, we have learned that there have been 25,000 security breaches at U.S. airports since November 2001. And I do appreciate the TSA in tracking and providing that data, but, obviously, those are the ones we know about. And the deep concern is what about the ones we don't know about and the creativity in things that can happen in the future."
