Czyzyk discussed Mercury’s efforts as the TSA’s first Independent Cargo Screen Facility in the nation and he also responded to specific questions posed by the Secretary.

“Secretary Napolitano asked a number of good questions regarding the issues confronting LAX and air commerce overall. I am always impressed to see a Cabinet Secretary that has a genuine interest in getting first hand information. I was also pleased to be able to provide her with my commendation of the TSA officials Mercury has worked with in our successful joint efforts,” said Czyzyk.
