Sole Witness and Deciding Official For The TSA's Case Has Been Demoted Twice Since Firing Robert Mac

In March 2011, the Project On Government Oversight in Washington DC conducted an investigation and discovered that the senior manager who was the sole witness and deciding official has been demoted twice since he fired Robert MacLean. MacLean's deciding official, Frank Donzanti, went from the Special Agent in Charge of all TSA law enforcement operations in California and Hawaii to a non-supervisory position at a small airport.

Since February 2010, Donzanti has been under investigation by the TSA Office of Inspection and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel for sexual harassment and quid pro quo arrangement allegations.

Famous quotes containing the words case, firing, demoted, sole, official, deciding and/or witness:

    In the case of news, we should always wait for the sacrament of confirmation.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    The sight of a planet through a telescope is worth all the course on astronomy; the shock of the electric spark in the elbow, outvalues all the theories; the taste of the nitrous oxide, the firing of an artificial volcano, are better than volumes of chemistry.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    We now demand the light artillery of the intellect; we need the curt, the condensed, the pointed, the readily diffused—in place of the verbose, the detailed, the voluminous, the inaccessible. On the other hand, the lightness of the artillery should not degenerate into pop-gunnery—by which term we may designate the character of the greater portion of the newspaper press—their sole legitimate object being the discussion of ephemeral matters in an ephemeral manner.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    I thought it altogether proper that I should take a brief furlough from official duties at Washington to mingle with you here to-day as a comrade, because every President of the United States must realize that the strength of the Government, its defence in war, the army that is to muster under its banner when our Nation is assailed, is to be found here in the masses of our people.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    Since civilizing children takes the better part of two decades—some twenty years of nonstop thinking, nurturing, teaching, coaxing, rewarding, forgiving, warning, punishing, sympathizing, apologizing, reminding, and repeating, not to mention deciding what to do when—I now understand that one wrong move is invariably followed by hundreds of opportunities to be wrong again.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    Hang there, my verse, in witness of my love.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
