This R&D provides resources on the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and growing passenger lines at the nation’s airports. The TSA is under fire for not effectively handling growing lines at some of the nation’s largest airports in Chicago and Atlanta, although it claims it has not received the funding for additional personnel. The TSA also says that not enough passengers have signed up for a pre-check program and that is also contributing to the headaches. Some Republicans on Capitol Hill such as Illinois Senator Mark Kirk have demanded that TSA head Peter Neffenger do more to fix the problems or resign, while others say that airports should privatize their security.
