Former Congressman and Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, speaking at Riverfront Museum on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, said he was on the U.S. House intelligence committee when terrorists struck America, but neither the House nor Senate intelligence committees had information on the pending attacks. The terrorists had been taking flying lessons in Florida paid for by Osama bin Laden, leader of Al-Qaida. Following 9/11, intelligence committees met daily to investigate the failure and restructure security moving forward. One outcome was formation of the TSA, LaHood said.
