A year ago, it was Brian Ross at ABC generating focus on the criminal, incompetent senior leadership at TSA. Lots of blogging, no follow-up, no action. Hawley is a great idea man, but an incompetent manager. Rossides is the devil incarnate. McGowan is stupid, perhaps even more so than his predecessor, Restovich. Dana Brown, the successor to the crook and autocrat, Tom Quinn, is a nice man, whose being manipulated by all of his senior people, who live in a law enforcement fantasy world. Kevin Houlihan is a pompous blow hard, who acts like he’s the center of wisdom for all. By the way, 5 of the 7 I mentioned above are ex-secret service, and the other two are USSS ass kissers. What do they all have in common – group think. They all suck up to each other and do not tolerate independent thought (just like the greater Bush Administration). Bottom line… when are all the pieces of the puzzle going to be put together by an investigative element that is willing to find the facts and hold these people accountable without protecting the good old USSS tards. Ms. Jacobsen, here are some more tips for you to look into:

1. Recent press about FAMs flying less than 1% of flights. Do you know that approximately 40% of FAMs who should be flying are assigned to ground-based assignments. In addition to significant overhead positions, such as assistants to the assistant special agents in charge, the deputy assistant directors and their assistants to the assistant deputies, working stiff FAMs are assigned to non-necessary functions such as FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces. Like the FBI can’t survive without the FAMs on their task forces. Why? For no other reason than for the USSS managers at TSA to bolster their self image (remember, most of them were low level supervisory grunts, at best, when they where in the USSS). From their perspective, no true law enforcement guy rides an airplane all day as a security guard (I guess they ride limos as a security guard). Why are all the supervisors of Federal Air Marshals called special agents in charge? Those they supervise are Federal Air Marshals. So, why aren’t their bosses called Federal Air Marshals in charge? Cause that doesn’t sound secret service enough!
2. When the head of TSA HR left TSA to enter the private sector shortly after Hawley/Rossides came back into the picture, why did he suddenly come back to TSA a month after he left? Because he was Rossides puppet, who had played her hatchet man, while she kept her fingers supposedly clean. She needed him back. Someone who would just do as told, no questions. Now, here’s the best part of it all. Rossides worked a deal for him to come out of retirement, back to the job he left one month earlier, into a rehired annuitant position, without penalty. That means, he retired from his $158,000 job one month, began collecting retirememt, was re-hired into the job he just retired from one month earlier without giving up his retirement, and was given a new salary of $162,000. So, Mr. Whitford’s new compensation package for working at TSA became approximately $252,000.
3. You should look into whether Rossides did the same thing for herself as she did for Whitford.

Keep up the pressure – what is going on is outlandish!!!
