It has been 5 years since the 9/11 attacks and sadly we still have much more to (1o to prevent a repeat of that catastrophe. We are troubled that this Congress has failed to implement many of the changes suggested by the 9/1l Commission more than 2 years after their final report. For example. the Commission urged us to improve border security through a more efficient entryexit screening system. Despite the national outcry to beef up border security as we have seen during the ongoing immigration debate. we have yet to adequately address this problem. The 9/11 Commission also recommended that we develop smarter plans to secure not only our air transportation system but also our rail and main transit systems. As the terrorist attacks in Madrid in 2004 and London in 2005 taught us. terrorists are more than willing and able to attack our trains. buses. and subway systems.
