Erin McElhone: TSA's Head Of Security 'Removed' From Office

The House Oversight Committee says, the head of security for TSA, Kelly Hoggan, has been removed from his position after a hearing about the agency's management. The change comes as fliers complain about long, slow airport screening lines. That problem "has many parts," as NPR's Brian Naylor has reported: More people are traveling, and there are fewer screen-ers. The May 12 hearing looked into attrition as well as management accountability. The committee says Hoggan received more than $90,000 in bonuses between November 2013 and November 2014, "despite significant security vulnerabilities." Lawmakers accused TSA of surreptitiously giving the payments in $10,000 increments.

As a constant traveler I hope that TSA becomes more efficient, with the removal of Hoggan. I see that this continues the common idea of not doing anything until you absolutely have to.
