With no SAFETY Act applications yet being approved by DHS, chairmen of three Congressional committees have complained to Secretary Ridge about "lengthy and burdensome bureaucratic obstacles" and "administrative red tape" that have choked the application process and delayed the introduction of critical anti-terrorism technology.
