[per loin]

Is Maneta trying to save his own job?

Goodbye, Magoo, and don't let the hatch hit you on the way off the plane.

But I'll bet that you, unlike the peasants you disdain, have unlimited CCW privileges by virtue of your recent tenure as head of the nation's premier cabal of jack-booted thugs..........

[Jefferson Adams]

Most Excellent.

[Dog]

I have heard of Magaw but can someone fill me in on his background.....

[PJeffQ]

Head of BATF during its excesses in the Clinton/Reno admin...

[gubamyster]

Norman took the resignation an hour ago

When will Bush take Norman's resignation?

[Geezerette]

Magaw ... Waco comes to mind. I'm not really sure about Ruby Ridge.

A truly evil individual. Good Riddance!!

Mr. Bush must finally be starting to actually listen to some common sense. This could be a good sign.

[jjm2111]

buh-bye. Loser. How does Bush let these clowns stay around as long as they did?

[oldfart]

I wouldn't get too happy. Turds like him usually float to the top somewhere else. Guard your punchbowls!

[Bahbah]

I surely hope he was pushed.

[jjm2111]

soon, I hope. every time I fly and see grandmothers taking their shoes off while swarthy young men allowed on the plane I think of conformin' Norman.

John Magaw Resigns as Head of TSA
Adm. James M. Loy To Take Agency Helm

Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta today accepted the resignation of John W. Magaw, the Under Secretary of Transportation for Security.

Magaw, who has headed the Transportation Security Administration since January 28, will be replaced by James M. Loy. Upon his retirement as Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, Loy was recently named Deputy Under Secretary and Chief Operating Officer of the TSA.

“John Magaw is a dedicated public servant with a lifetime of achievements in the law enforcement field, and we all owe him a debt for his role in the start-up phase of TSA,” Secretary Mineta said. “I also appreciate the difficulty of the task. Creating a nationwide system customized to 429 very busy commercial airports is a huge challenge.

“We are extremely fortunate that Jim Loy has agreed to serve as our new head of the TSA. Admiral Loy has amply demonstrated his ability to motivate and manage a large federal agency when he was commandant of the Coast Guard. Jim Loy is the right man for this job, at the right time.

“As a senior member of our DOT team for many years, Jim Loy already knows the players, the policies and the issues involved in transportation security. He is a superb manager, with impeccable credentials in security, intelligence, law enforcement and customer service.

“I have the utmost confidence in his leadership skills, and look forward to working with him to make TSA a success,” Secretary Mineta said.

Admiral James M. Loy's Bio

Now Mineta is next I hope.

Arm-the-pilots "Bang."

I expect that the crumbling opposition to arming the pilots means that McGaw the thug took a well-deserved fall. Bush can reverse on pilots, and save face.

Would that Mineta went as well.

Thanks for the link to his bio. This "career seagoing officer" looks promising--not just a desk jockey.
