The TSA office of intelligence and analysis, contracting for Risk Assessmentof millions air travel suspects:
Actually, I was under the impression, from previous reading, that this office has nothing to do with vetting passengers but was allegedly to look into bad behavior on the part of screeners and other TSA employees. Don't have time now to search out why/how I got that impression. Maybe later today.
Not only their non-working credentialing program, but the SPOTniks, Secure Flight, everything: http://www.dhs.gov/privacy-documents-transportation-security-administration-tsa
I think you may have that one mixed up with the Office of Professional Responsibilities (OPR) that has been spinning up over the last couple of years. They have been tasked with working on removing employees that are not supposed to be here. They were the office behind the firings in Hawaii and Newark - or they were at least involved on an administrative level.
That because of the next rung up on the ladder -- the Office of Unprofessional Irresponsibility (OUI), a massive collection of yes-men & sycophants. They actually call all the shots at TSA.
Some of them have been reinstated. Arbitration seems to have recommended those reinstatements, although I have not seen the actual decisions and the reasoning for them.
If they can't find criminals in their ranks why on earth are the rest of us subject to this ? These private contractors deliver that intel. Based on what?Your credit score is bad, so you get hand-to-genital contact today? And the logic model diagramming the connection between that and national security is...?
