Abameli beRiphabhlikhi baqhekeza i-TSA kwisikhumbuzo sayo seminyaka eli-10

Washington - Kwiminyaka elishumi emva kokusekwa kwayo, uLawulo loKhuseleko lwezoThutho lwafumana uhlobo lwekhadi lokuzalwa ekungekho mntu ufuna ukulifumana-ingxelo ebuhlungu evela kubameli beRiphabhlikhi abathi i-arhente "idumbile" kwaye "ingasebenzi kakuhle" kwaye yenze kancinci, ukuba kukho nantoni na, ukuphucula ukhuseleko lokuhamba ngeenqwelomoya.

U-Rep. John Mica, R-Florida, umgxeki wexesha elide oye walwela ukuthengisa imisebenzi yokuhlola i-TSA, wathi iCongress ayizange ijonge ukuba i-arhente eyakhiwe ngoNovemba 2001 "i-mushroom" ibe ngumsebenzi wabasebenzi be-65,000, "i-top heavy" kunye nabaphathi.

“Ndingakuxelela, emaphupheni ethu angalawulekiyo … akukho mntu wakha wanembono yabasebenzi bezolawulo abangama-4,000 eWashington, D.C., benza umndilili … phantse i-104,000 yeedola, kwaye emva koko baphantse babe-10,000 ngaphandle ebaleni,” utshilo uMica.

Kodwa awona mazwi ahlabayo avela kwiRep. Paul Broun, R-Georgia.

"Abantu baseMelika bachithe phantse i-60 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngenkxaso-mali ye-TSA kwaye abakhuselekanga ngakumbi namhlanje kunokuba babenjalo ngaphambi kwe-9/11," utshilo uBroun.

Becinezelwe ekuchanekeni kweso sitatimende, uBroun noMica bathi i-TSA ayikaze ilumise uhlaselo lwabanqolobi, kwaye inike ikhredithi kubemi babucala okanye abanye ngamayelenqe abanqolobi aphazamisekile ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.

“Ngelishwa, ugqaliselo luye lwaphambukiswa kukhuseleko … lwaya kulawulo lwenkqubo enkulu,” utshilo uMica.

UBroun uvumile. “Kufuneka sigxile ekuchongeni abanqolobi kwaye sibanqande endaweni yokumbambazela umakhulu nabantwana. Kwaye kufuneka siyeke ukuzikhathaza ngokuchaneka kwezopolitiko, ”utshilo. "I-TSA kufuneka ibeke izixhobo zayo kubukrelekrele nakwitekhnoloji enokuthi isebenze ngakumbi xa kufikwa ekubambeni abanqolobi abayingozi nabayingozi."

Abenzi bomthetho bathi balungiselela umthetho wokuguqula i-TSA.

Isithethi se-TSA sibize ingxelo ye-GOP "lishwa elibi kumadoda nabafazi abazinikeleyo be-TSA abaphambili yonke imihla bekhusela uluntu oluhambahambayo."

Inkqubo yeenqwelo moya yelizwe “ikhuselekile, yomelele, kwaye ikhuseleke ngakumbi kunokuba yayinjalo kwiminyaka eli-10 eyadlulayo,” utshilo uGreg Soule. I-arhente ivavanye abakhweli abangaphezu kwe-5 yeebhiliyoni kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo, watsho, kwaye inqanda imipu engaphezulu kwe-1,100 ukuba iziswe kwiinqwelomoya zabakhweli kulo nyaka kuphela.

UMica noBraun bakhuphe ingxelo ye-GOP kwinkomfa yeendaba eyayibanjelwe kwindawo enkulu ye-Reagan-Washington Airport. Amagqabantshintshi abo agxeka imeko yokhuseleko lwenqwelomoya anyuswe ngaphezulu kwesandisi-lizwi, kwaye ajonga ecaleni kubakhweli abasingise kwiindawo zokujonga isikhululo seenqwelomoya.

Ngenye imini ngaphambili, uMlawuli we-TSA uJohn Pistole wema kwindawo enye ukuze axoxe ngamalungiselelo ohambo lweholide, encoma inkqubela phambili kwitekhnoloji yokuhlola kwaye esithi abakhweli bonwabile lutshintsho oluye lwanciphisa inani lokuthotywa kwabantwana.

Ingxelo ekhutshwe ngoLwesithathu ilungiswe ngabasebenzi baseRiphabhlikhi kwiikomiti zezoThutho zeNdlu kunye nokuLawula. Ubukhulu becala sisishwankathelo seengxelo zangaphambili ezibalulekileyo ze-TSA, ezijonge ukusasazwa kwayo kobuchwephesha obungaphumeleliyo, obufana noomatshini bepuffer; ukungaphumeleli kokuthintela abashokobezi, njenge-2001 "ibhomu yesihlangu" uRichard Reid kunye ne-2009 "ibhomu yangaphantsi" Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab"; kunye nokungabikho kwamakhadi okufunda amakhadi esazisi asisigidi esi-1.8 akhutshelwa abasebenzi bezothutho.

Ingxelo ithi i-arhente ikhule phantse kane ukususela ekuqaleni kwayo, ukusuka kubasebenzi be-16,500 ukuya ngaphezu kwe-65,000, ngelixa i-traffic abakhweli bezorhwebo inyuke ngaphantsi kweepesenti ze-12.

Kodwa isithethi seTSA sithe le arhente inamagosa okhuseleko amalunga nama-56,000 ngo-2002, unyaka eyaqala ngawo ukuhlolwa, kwaye inamalunga nama-52,000 namhlanje.

Ingxelo yeRiphabhlikhi iqulethe iingcebiso ze-11, ithi i-TSA kufuneka isebenze ngokuzimela okukhulu kwiSebe lezoKhuseleko lwelizwe, kwaye isigxina somlawuli kufuneka siphakanyiswe. I-TSA iye yaba "ilahlekile" kwi-bureaucracy yoKhuseleko lweKhaya, uMica uthe.

Ikwahlaba ikhwelo kwi-arhente ukuba ikhuphe imisebenzi eyongezelelweyo yokuhlola kushishino lwabucala. Okwangoku, izikhululo zeenqwelo moya ze-16, ezibandakanya iSan Francisco International, "ziphumile" ekuhlolweni kwesikhululo seenqwelomoya kwaye zisebenzisa izikrini zabucala phantsi koko kwaziwa ngokuba yiNkqubo yeNtsebenziswano yokuHlola. Izikrini zinxiba iiyunifomu ezifanayo, sebenzisa iteknoloji efanayo kwaye zilandele iinkqubo ezifanayo.

I-Mica ikhuthaza ukuthengiswa kwabucala okuqhubekayo kwemisebenzi yokuhlola isikhululo seenqwelomoya, kodwa umlawuli uPistole akaxhaswanga kangako, ngesinye isihlandlo esithi uya kwandisa inkqubo kuphela ukuba kukho inzuzo ecacileyo yokwenza oko.

Kwezinye iindaba ze-TSA, iqela leshishini lokuhamba ngoLwesithathu lithe iinkqubo zokuhlola i-arhente zihlala "zingasebenzi kakuhle kwaye ziyakhathaza" kubahambi.

I-U.S. Travel Association ikhuphe iziphumo zophando olwenziwe kwi-intanethi kwinyanga ephelileyo kubantu abamalunga nama-600.

Ngokutsho kolu hlolisiso, “izinto ezine kwezintlanu ezinxunguphalisayo zabahambi ngenqwelo-moya ziphathelele inkqubo yokuhlola,” kuquka nonxunguphalo olukhulu: “Abantu abazisa iingxowa ezininzi gqitha kwindawo yokuhlola ukhuseleko.” Kodwa iinketho ezintlanu kwezili-11 kuphando zibhekiselele ngqo kwiindawo zokukhangela ze-TSA, kwaye ukhetho oluseleyo alukhange luquke izinto ezicaphukisayo eziqhelekileyo, ezinje ngemirhumo yomthwalo ogqithisileyo.

Uphononongo luthi i-66.2 yeepesenti yabahambi ngeenqwelomoya "ngandlel' ithile okanye baneliseke kakhulu" ngokusebenza ngokubanzi kwe-TSA njengoko ihambelana nokhuseleko, i-21.2 yeepesenti ayithathi hlangothi, kwaye i-12.5 ipesenti "yincinci okanye ayinelisekanga kakhulu."

Kodwa abakhenkethi rhoqo ngenqwelomoya abonwabanga kangako, abangama-54.6 ekhulwini “baneliseke ngandlel’ ithile okanye baneliseke kakhulu.”

Iqela lathi ngaphandle kwamanyathelo amatsha e-TSA okuphucula ukuhlolwa kwabakhweli, "uninzi oluninzi" alukhange luqaphele naluphi na uphuculo kwindlela yokuhlola xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka ophelileyo. Yathi i-81.8 yeepesenti iceba ukufika kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ngexesha elifanayo ngaphambi kokuhamba ngenqwelomoya njengoko benzile kunyaka ophelileyo.

Uphando lunomda wempazamo yokudibanisa okanye thabatha isi-4 sepesenti.

I-TSA ithe kuyayivuyisa ukubona uninzi lwabakhenkethi abavotelwe bekholelwa ukuba le arhente ihamba kwicala elifanelekileyo, kwaye yathi indawo yokukhangela ifike ngokukhawuleza, ithatha ngaphantsi kwemizuzu engama-20 ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-99 zabakhweli kulo nyaka uphelileyo.

"Inani elongeziweyo leebhegi eziphathwayo lichaphazela amandla ethu okunciphisa amaxesha okulinda, kodwa hayi inqanaba lokhuseleko esibonelela ngalo, elihlala liphambili kuthi," yatsho i-arhente.
