Trump nominates David Cummins to head the Transportation Security Administration
President Trump nominated David Cummins, a senior vice president at government contractor Serco, to lead the TSA on Monday. The agency has faced significant challenges including the longest partial government shutdown in history, during which TSA employees went without pay, thousands missed work, and hundreds quit, resulting in airport security delays. Cummins brings transportation experience from Serco and previously served as director of operations for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
