TSA to Transfers to Homeland Security

The head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) outlined today the young agency’s accomplishments and the projects it will carry Saturday from the Department of Transportation to the Department of Homeland Security. “We will always be grateful for the tremendous leadership and support shown by Secretary Norman Y. Mineta and many others at Transportation,” said Under Secretary of Transportation for Security Adm. James M. Loy. Loy said TSA’s success has helped rebuild air travelers’ confidence in aviation security. One million more travelers flew this January than in January of 2002, he noted. TSA, the brainchild of Secretary Mineta and Deputy Transportation Secretary Michael P. Jackson, was officially created Nov.
