US: TSA head of security removed from post - report
The head of security for the TSA has been removed from his position. Kelly Hoggan, who had served as TSA assistant administrator for security operations since May 2013, was replaced by his deputy, Darby LaJoye, who will serve on an acting basis, according to a memo from agency head Peter Neffenger. Long security lines at US airports this spring have caused frustration and caused thousands of passengers to miss flights. TSA has blamed the problem on a lack of security screeners and an increase in passenger volumes. Hoggan came under fire at a US House Oversight Committee hearing May 12 for receiving over US$90,000 in bonuses and awards over a 13-month period in 2013-14. About 231m passengers will fly on US airlines between June and August, up 4% from the same period last year. <br/>
