Rep. Bilirakis Expressses Concerns over Pipeline Security
Description:
WASHINGTON (14 Nov.) -- U.S. Rep. Gus M. Bilirakis (R-Fla.), member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, on Wednesday questioned the head of Transportation Security Administration, Kip Hawley, about the security conditions and inspection of pipelines in the Tampa Bay area. During questioning on the subject of the hearing, which was about reported TSA negligence in undermining airport security review, Bilirakis notified Hawley that he wants a prompt response from his Agency, which assists the U.S. Department of Transportation in the security of the nation's pipelines. Congressman Bilirakis's questioning follows an act of vandalism on Nov. 13 to a 30-mile-long anhydrous ammonia pipeline in Riverview, Fla. Three teenage boys had drilled a hole into the pipeline in an alleged search for money. The leak resulted in the release of a noxious chemical cloud and the evacuation of thousands of local residents.
