A dept which should be done away with and let it go back to private security firms. That would save the tax payer a lot of money and waste.
After 9/11 airport security was a patchwork-quilt of various groups. The Bush administration wanted to centralize security, but the DemocRATs in Congress insisted that they become Federal employees. Bush capitulated. The result? TSA.
Maybe they’ll move him to the IRS, or better yet, DOD
Saul Alinsky tactics appoint the MOST INCOMPETENT to ALL Positions everywhere always..

They should write a law that makes it legal and provides some sort of award for stopping/thwarting a terrorist(s) in-flight and conceals your identity. If three or more passengers agree and/or if cabin crew asks for assistance, you are held harmless if you have to thump some idiot — not sure of the details but something along those lines. I’ll leave the legislative sausage-making to those smarter than me.
You do get an 'award'. You live.
No one is under any illusions. A terrorist seizes control of the aircraft, you're going to die.
