Meeting for the last time since being appointed by Congress in 2002, commission members gave the government "more Fs than As" among the 41 grades measuring progress on security recommendations they issued last year.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The former Sept. 11 commission gave dismal grades Monday to the federal government's efforts to shore up national security and prevent another terror attack on the United States.

Meeting for the last time since being appointed by Congress in 2002, commission members gave the government "more Fs than As" among the 41 grades measuring progress on security recommendations they issued last year.

Specifically, the panel gave the government an "F" on homeland security spending for cities most at risk, on improving radio communication for emergency agencies and on airline passenger prescreening.
