we were advised to arrive two hours before a trip. the tsa flames the problem on a shortage of security screeners and is looking to hire 800 people for the job. look, the job the tsa is doing is as difficult that's is needed but airport security is the major function of this agency. the main reason it was created after 9/11 and it is dropping the ball. what really matters is our security but also our freedom of movement. surely an agency with a $37 billion annual budget can find a way to ensure both. let me know what you think. follow me on twitter and facebook. >> that will do it for this edition of abc7 news. thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> we appreciate your time and we'll see you again at 9 and 11.
