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.

Bush ask for it ?

McGraw was so greedy that, even by DC standards, he stepped out of bounds. He spent $ 400,000 of tax money redecorating his office. He was out of control. He shot himself in the groin.

Stop it, you're scaring me. Yeah, he'll probably move on up to head FEMA. Then the nukes will hit. Coincidence?

[OldFriend]

Dittos........oh please please take Mineta with you......

[pabianice]

Dittos........oh please please take Mineta with you......

Can't happen. The Affirmative Action incompetent quota mongers would have Bush's head...

[Dan Cooper]

Adm. Loy sounds like he has a more balanced background. I'm hoping that this leads to a more sane approach to security, like lifting the prohibition against air crews being armed.

[OldFriend]

Ah, someone ought to remind the President tht the road to hell is paved with good intentions.....and his decision to put democrats in his administration has been a disaster no matter how well intentioned an idea.

[Travis McGee]

I didn't see that story....

[glc1173@aol.com]

Mineta demanded his resignation - for it now being clear both that he's never going to meet congressionally-imposed air security deadlines and for a suppressed internal study finding airline security now no safer than before 9/11 in spite of all the checkpoint hassles.

GOOD RIDDANCE. Is Mineta next?

[Dan from Michigan]

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye!!

[JFoxbear]

Let's hope that this well deserved resignation is a sign of a few more good things to come.

Anybody who doesn't trust the "Ships Captain" or the "Pilot" to fly with a "Sidearm" simply cannot be trusted! and in this case... Mr. McGaw?

He's old news now! God Bless America!
