 ,,representatives  ,april #ab1 #bjac   
,ms4 ,jackson ,lee 7for herself and ,mr4
 ,grimm7 submitted the following        
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,homeland ,security       
,,resolution  ,expressing the sense of  
the ,house of ,representatives that the 
,transportation ,security               
,administration should delay            
implementation of changes to the        
,prohibited ,items ,list that do not    
enhance the protection of passengers1   
and for other purposes4  ,whereas the   
terrorists who attacked the ,united     
,states of ,america on ,september #aa1  
#bjja1 were able to threaten and        
overpower crew members and pilots on    
commercial airplanes in order to gain   
access to the cockpits reportedly used  
box cutters1 small knives1 or razor     
blades2 ,whereas in the wake of the     
,september #aa1 #bjja1 terrorist        
attacks1 the ,transportation ,security  

,administration 7,,tsa7 was created to  
assume control of the civilian aircraft 
security functions of the ,federal      
,aviation ,administration and is        
currently tasked with providing security
 for the ,nation's airports1 maintaining
 a security force to screen all         
commercial airline passengers and       
baggage1 and working with the           
transportation1 law enforcement1 and    
intelligence communities to ensure      
safety2 ,whereas every day1 the ,,tsa   
processes an average of #a4g million    
passengers at more than #dej airports   
across the ,nation and in #bjab1        
#fcg1ehb1abb passengers relied on ,,tsa 
screening to ensure that they safely    
reached their destinations2 ,whereas on 
,march #e1 #bjac1 the ,transportation   
,security ,administration publicly      
announced its intention to permit       
passengers1 effective ,april #be1 #bjac1
 to bring previously banned items in    
their carry-on baggage when boarding    
flights2 ,whereas prohibited items that 

would be permitted effective that date  
include items that are potentially      
dangerous to passengers1 flight         
attendants1 pilots1 and ,federal air    
marshals1 and include hockey sticks1    
lacrosse sticks1 golf clubs1 and1 more  
alarmingly1 small knives2 ,whereas on   
,april #i1 #bjac1 the ,nation was       
reminded of the terrible harm that small
 knives can inflict on victims when a   
mass stabbing occurred on the campus of 
,lone ,star ,college in ,houston1       
,texas1 during which the suspect used a 
razor utility knife and caused injuries1
 including lacerations of the face and  
neck1 to #ad people2 ,whereas the       
,,tsa's decision to allow these items   
was made without a formal engagement    
process and without the consultation of 
members of the ,homeland ,security      
,committee or its ,subcommittee on      
,transportation ,security1 the ,aviation
 ,security ,advisory ,committee1 or the 
various stakeholders in the air transit 
industry that will be directly affected 

by this change2 ,whereas the ,american  
public1 air travel industry             
stakeholders1 and ,federal air marshals 
have expressed strong disapproval of the
 impending ,prohibited ,items ,list     
changes1 and their lives and well-being 
would be placed in jeopardy as a result 
of the changes2 and ,whereas the        
#a1bgj1jjj1jjj in estimated             
sequestration cuts currently in effect  
at the ,,tsa exposes the agency to      
vulnerabilities and facing increased    
security risks due to potential         
furloughs1 hiring freezes1 and layoffs  
of critical personnel1 including        
transportation security officers and    
,federal air marshals1 as well as the   
elimination of the ,crew ,member ,self  
,defense ,training ,program3 ,now1      
therefore1 be it  ,that it is the sense 
of the ,house of ,representatives that--
  7#a7 the ,house of ,representatives   
disapproves of the ,transportation      
,security ,administration's decision to 
modify the prohibited items list1 set to

 take effect on ,april #be1 #bjac1 that 
would allow passengers to bring small   
knives in their carry-on baggage2 and   
7#b7 the ,transportation ,security      
,administration's implementation of     
those changes to its ,prohibited ,items 
,list should be delayed indefinitely    
until such time that the agency conducts
 a formal engagement process involving  
all of the affected stakeholders and has
 meaningful consultations with affected 
air travel industry stakeholders1       
including flight attendants4
