The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has imposed a hiring freeze, despite the fast-approaching congressionally imposed deadlines to check all passengers and baggage at commercial airports.

Congress capped the TSA at 45,000 full-time employees when it created the agency in response to the Sept. 11 attacks.

"It's premature to say whether we will or will not be able to meet our deadlines," TSA spokesperson Johnson told The AP.
