With the latest attempted terrorist incident and the resulting noise, I have heard little comment that new TSA head has not been confirmed and that SC Senator DeMint has blocked his nomination.
The Obama administration has nominated Erroll Southers as the new head of the Transportation Safety Administration. Southers is currently the head of homeland security and the police force at the Los Angeles World Airports and is a former FBI Special Agent. He was nominated in September. Hearings were held in October and November, but his nomination has been blocked by Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina because of concerns about unionization of the TSA workers. I guess keeping the TSA out of unions is more important having the head of an agency responsible for our safety? Thanks for your support of national security, Jim!
