The TSA has refused to attend a House  Transportation hearing this week, with agency head John Pistole personally  refusing to appear and declaring that the Congressional Committee has “no  jurisdiction over the TSA”.

The hearing, schedule for Thursday, will be held  by the Subcommittee on Aviation, a part of the House Transportation and  Infrastructure Committee (TIC). It is titled HOW BEST TO IMPROVE OUR  NATION’S AIRPORT PASSENGER SECURITY SYSTEM THROUGH COMMON SENSE  SOLUTIONS.

Headed by Rep. Thomas Petri, it will “examine the  impact that the regulations and policies of the Transportation Security  Administration have on aviation passenger experience and the free flow of  aviation commerce,” according to a brief on the subcommittee’s website (PDF).

The TIC’s website indicates that TSA head John Pistole has  been asked to testify at the hearing. However, a statement issued on the TSA’s website made it clear that neither Pistole, nor any TSA  official intends to attend the hearing.
