TSA is working overtime to put the spin on this newest TSA scandal. They’ve even put a blog post about it on the TSA Blog where they are frantically censoring comments about how bogus their Restovich defense really is.

TSA has yet to answer the following question which I asked Spokesman Christopher White on March 11th at 12:12 p.m. and which he/TSA continues to avoid answering:

Is Mike Restovich a paid employee of the United States Department of Homeland Security with a government salary and government benefits, or is he a paid consultant for DHS/TSA?

If Mike Restovich is currently a consultant being paid as DHS Attaché to the United Kingdom, than that is clearly a case of self-dealing. His consulting company, Group 2M, was set up (with the help of fellow TSA Official Morris “Mo” McGowan) while Restovich was Federal Security Director at Love Field.

If Mike Restovich remains a government employee with a government salary and government benefits in his role as DHS Attaché to the United Kingdom, then why does he say his online resume that his work for Homeland Security ended in 2007 and that he is now General Partner with Group 2M?

Either way, Mike Restovich has some explaining to do. And so does TSA.

Fed up with TSA? Take action. Go to Congress.org. Type in your zip code and find out who represents you. Send them this article and ask Congress to investigate.
