Kirk Statement on TSA Administrator’s Visit to O’Hare

PEORIA, Ill. – U.S. Senator Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) today issued the following statement after TSA Administrator, Peter Neffenger, visited O’Hare to discuss the unusually long security lines at Chicago’s O’Hare and Midway airports:

“The passengers at O’Hare and Midway will decide if the wait times are reasonable, not bureaucrats. Over the next ten days, the flying public will hold TSA accountable for safe and quick security screening. If this problem isn’t solved before Memorial Day weekend travel peaks, TSA leadership should change. Continue to tweet your wait times to me @SenatorKirk and let me know if TSA is doing their job.”
