The bill does not delay implementation. TSA will continue working closely with GAO and Congress to meet the criteria outlined for the Secure Flight program.
clear question storm
It's clear that a storm is brewing. The question is just how strong.

It's a classic political deal. You have to make sure, one person said to me, that instead of being on the train tracks you get on the train.
