Senate Confirms Neffenger as Next TSA Administrator
GA groups praise Senate for swift confirmation of Neffenger.

The Senate confirmed the nomination of U.S. Coast Guard veteran Peter Neffenger to head the Transportation Security Administration. Yesterday’s 81-1 confirmation vote comes less than two months after President Barack Obama announced his intention to nominate Neffenger to succeed John Pistole as TSA administrator. Neffenger steps into his new role with 34 years of service with the Coast Guard, where he rose to the rank of vice admiral.
