We're also taking steps to defend the nation's transportation systems which are vulnerable to targets and to attacks. The Transportation Security Administration is responsible for ensuring the security of all those who travel in a single day. There are over 45,000 flights in this country with nearly 2.9 million passengers in the United States States. We're fulfilling our obligation to launch Real id, which happened yesterday and we follow federal law as it was passed 20 years ago. (25:15–25:23)
