Unfortunately. the restricted rule enacted at the behest of the majority excludes certain measures that would have increased our domestic security. One such provision is my amendment on the Automated Targeting System for Passengers. or ATSP. ATSP coordinates information already available from sources and allows Customs and Border Protection to perform risk assessments of people entering the United States. In this way CBP can identify a person of interest and question that individual before. let me repeat. before that person gains formal admission into this country. This amendment would have been a positive step towards improving border security. ATSP is a system that is already deployed and that has already had some notable successes. It would have fulfilled a 9/11 Commission recommendation.
