"Komunitas lelungan AS ndhukung banget karo langkah Ketua Thompson lan Ketua DeFazio kanggo mungkasi praktik nggunakake biaya '9/11' kanggo mbayar program sing ora ana hubungane karo keamanan perjalanan udara," ujare Wakil Presiden Eksekutif Asosiasi Perjalanan AS Jonathan Grella.
"Ngalihake bagean saka ragad keamanan 9/11 menyang revenue umum minangka keputusan sing apes lan salah ing pirang-pirang cara. Pengalihan ragad muter game budgetary karo salah siji saka fungsi pamaréntah federal paling kritis lan sensitif: keamanan transportasi udhara. Ragad pangguna dhasar kudu digunakake kanggo entuk manfaat saka sistem sing diklumpukake - prinsip dhasar sing dianut dening anggota parlemen ing loro-lorone lorong. Kesempatan sing ora kejawab kanggo nandur modal ing nganyarke lan inovasi-uga kanggo nyiapake sistem kanggo gangguan kayata shutdown parsial pemerintah anyar-ora kaetung.
"Nalika nerangake keamanan, luwih becik ngatasi masalah kanthi proaktif tinimbang nanggapi krisis kanthi reaktif. Kongres kudu ngilangi pangalihan ragad keamanan, tumindak saiki kanggo mbalikke dampak saka shutdown anyar, nyiapake musim lelungan musim panas sing sibuk ing ngarep, lan nyedhiyakake sumber daya penting kanggo TSA kanggo modernisasi lan nambah operasi.
"We applaud Ketua Thompson lan Ketua DeFazio manungsa waé kanggo masalah iki, lan ngarep-arep iku kasil ing mandhek laku gerah-dianjurake saka pangalihan ragad."
APA sing kudu dijupuk saka ARTIKEL INI:
- Congress should eliminate the security fee diversion, act now to reverse the impacts of the recent shutdown, prepare for the busy summer travel season ahead, and provide TSA with vital resources to modernize and improve its operations.
- The missed opportunities to invest in upgrades and innovation—as well as to prepare the system for disruptions such as the recent partial government shutdown—are innumerable.
- “We applaud Chairman Thompson and Chairman DeFazio’s attention to this issue, and hope it succeeds in ceasing the ill-advised practice of fee diversion.
