I-RADNOR, i-PA - I-Business Travel Coalition (BTC) namhlanje igxeke uLawulo loKhuseleko lwezoThutho (TSA) kunye namaqela akhuthaza ukhuseleko lwesikhululo seenqwelomoya usuku lokuphuma ngexesha leeholide ze-Thanksgiving. Izikhululo zeenqwelo-moya bezisoloko ziziindawo ezithandwa kakhulu ngabanqolobi kangangeminyaka engama-35. NgoDisemba 29, 1975, iSikhululo seenqwelo-moya saseLaGuardia sasizele ngabakhenkethi beeholide xa kwaqhushumba ibhombu yabulala abantu abali-11 kwaza kwenzakalisa abangama-75. Namhlanje, eyona ndlela ibalaseleyo yokhuseleko ehlabathini lonke iquka ukususa abakhweli kwindawo engakhuselekanga ukuya kumacala akhuselekileyo ezikhululo zeenqwelo-moya ngokukhawuleza kangangoko kunokwenzeka. Ukukhuthaza izenzo ezithintela abahambi ngeeholide kwiindawo zokuhlola zesikhululo seenqwelomoya ezingakhuselekanga akunaluxanduva; ukuyibhengeza kwangaphambili kubanqolobi kukungakhathali.
Amaqela abandakanyekayo ngokungathandabuzekiyo enze umsebenzi onempumelelo kakhulu ekuphakamiseni ukuqonda kwelizwe ngeenkqubo zokukhusela ze-TSA eziyingozi ngamanye amaxesha. Nangona kunjalo, kwezokhuseleko nakukhuseleko loluntu, i-BTC icela la maqela ukuba ngoku arhoxise uqhanqalazo olucwangcisiweyo lokuphuma, adibanise impumelelo yomkhankaso kwaye aqondise iinzame ukuya kumazinga aphezulu eWashington. I-BTC ikwabongoza amaqela eenqwelo moya, isikhululo seenqwelomoya kunye namaqela eshishini lokuhamba ukuba bacebise ngamandla ngokuchasene noqhanqalazo olunokuba yingozi kwaye bajoyine amanyathelo omgaqo-nkqubo woluntu afuna uphononongo olupheleleyo lwe-TSA.
Ngo-2004 ubungqina be-BTC phambi kweNkongolo yase-US malunga neNkqubo yokuCoca abagibeli abaNcedisayo beKhompyutha (i-CAPPS II), i-BTC yabonisa ukuba ukuthanda kwe-TSA ekusithekeni nasekungahoyi ubumfihlo babemi kunye nenkxalabo yenkqubo efanelekileyo khange ihambisane nenkxaso yoluntu ukuba kwasekuqaleni kobukho bayo yayihlekisa ngezimvo zoluntu. I-CAPPS II yaba nguMntwana oPostayo ngenxa yokungakhathali kwi-arhente enekratshi ngamanye amaxesha kangangokuba yayihlala iyala ukunika ulwazi oluluncedo kwiintatheli ngaphandle kwezicelo ze-FOIA.
"Ukuthunyelwa kwezikena zomzimba opheleleyo ngaphandle kwenkqubo yokunika izimvo esidlangalaleni kunye novavanyo olwaneleyo lwezonyango kunye nolwenzululwazi yenye yezona zinto zigqwethekayo ze-TSA zokugunyazisa igunya oko kwabakho," utshilo uSihlalo weBTC uKevin Mitchell. "Ukuphathwa gadalala okugqithisileyo kubonisa ukuphathwa gadalala kwabemi ngokugqithileyo, ngakumbi ukuba kusetyenziswa" ukohlwaya "xa abakhweli bekhetha ukuphuma emzimbeni. Kukho izigidi zabantu baseMelika kunye nabakhenkethi bamanye amazwe- abantwana kunye nabantu abadala- abaye baphazamiseka ngenxa yokuxhatshazwa ngokwesondo ngexesha lokuphila kwabo. Ihlazekile into yokuba ngoku kufuneka babuyele ekuhluphekeni kwabo.
Abakhweli bahambelane nomaleko kumanqanaba amatsha kunye nokutshintsha kwamanyathelo okhuseleko kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya kunye neeprotocol ukusukela ngo-2001. Nangona kunjalo, inqaku le-inflection liya kubonakala lifikelelwe ngesikena somzimba kunye nemicimbi ekhubekisayo apho ukunyuka okunyanzelekileyo kuluntu oluhambahambayo kufanele kukhokele ukuphononongwa ngokubanzi kwenkqubo yokhuseleko yaseMelika. Inkqubo yangoku yovavanyo lokhuseleko, kunye nethuba lokuxhatshazwa, liphezulu kakhulu kangangokuba kude kumenywe noMongameli wangaphambili uGeorge W. Bush kwiThe Tonight Show noJay Leno.
Ngelixa ukhuseleko lubonisa eyona nkqubo ingcono yelizwe jikelele, umngcipheko kukuba zonke iindlela zamanyathelo okhuseleko zinokuthetheleleka kwaye uhlolo oluzimeleyo luthintelwe ngokufihla ngasemva "kwemigangatho yokhuseleko" yemantra. Ngokubalulekileyo, ukuphatha bonke abakhweli abadlula kwinkqubo yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya ngokungathi bazisongelo ezilinganayo kukhuseleko lwesizwe kubonisa eyona ndlela imbi kakhulu kuba ayisebenzi, ibiza kakhulu kwaye iyaphazamisa kwiindlela ezingcono. Imbuyekezo kwidola nganye yotyalo-mali kuqokelelo lobuntlola, ukuhlalutya kunye nokwabelana ngaphakathi nangaphaya kwemida zi-odolo-zobukhulu obukhulu kuneedola ezichithwe kuhlolwe abakhweli kwizikhululo zeenqwelo moya. Iinjongo zeCongress kufuneka zenziwe yi-TSA ngokubhekisele kumngcipheko wokwenene kunye nenkqubo yokuhamba ethembekileyo esekwe kulondolozo ekhusela ukhuseleko kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya kunye nokukhulula imali yokufumana abagrogrisi apho balala khona, naphambi kokuba bafike kwizikhululo zeenqwelo moya.
Umlawuli omtsha we-TSA uJohn Pistole uzuze njengelifa iarhente enengxaki kwaye egxile ngaphakathi. Ithuba lakhe kwangoko kukujonga umfanekiso omkhulu obandakanya uluntu oluphulukene nokuzithemba kwiarhente yakhe kwaye engasayithembi. Umsebenzi wokuqala kufuneka uchaze ukuba kutheni; Inyathelo lokuqala kufuneka ibe kukufikelela kumaqela aququzelela uqhankqalazo lokuphuma, ukumamela iinkxalabo zawo kwaye uwaqinisekise ngesicwangciso-qhinga, esibanzi nesiphandle sovavanyo lwe-TSA.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- The intent of Congress should be acted upon by TSA with respect to a true risk and security-based trusted traveler program that streamlines airport security and frees up funds to find the terrorists where they sleep, and before they arrive at our airports.
- However, an inflection point would appear to have been reached with the body scanner and offensive pat down issues where increasingly forceful push back from the traveling public should lead to an overall review of U.
- However, for the security and safety of the public, BTC urges these groups to now cancel planned opt-out protests, consolidate campaign success and redirect efforts to the highest levels in Washington.
