Updated its concept of operations to focus on riskbased deployments. The question is, have the events of the last two months since the budget was released convinced the administration that doubling of the vipr program is needed to address current threats .

It was also the metro car as we mentioned between stations which killed 13 people and injured a lot more. Rail and transit are very open systems, much like the nonsterile areas of airports and could easily be perceived as soft targets. What have you, or i should say how have you communicated with surface transportation operators about the potential for a brussels like attack on a u. S. Transportation system and do you believe that transit systems and passenger railroads in particular are prepared for an attack like the tragic events in brussels . Mr. Chairman, thank you for that question. That is a question thats been op everyones mind, certainly since the brussels attacks. I will tell it yous been our minds fo
