DHS Audit: TSA Reviews of Private Airport Screening Flawed

July 2, 2013

The Transportation Security Administration is under fire from the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general for mistakes in evaluating applications for private screeners at airports, but the agency contends that the flaws have been fixed, USA Today reports.

John Halinski, TSA deputy administrator, replied that while some documents were mislabeled, that didn’t hurt the agency’s review of the applications, USA Today reports.
