US Transportation Security Administration head leaves office

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The head of the U.S. Transportation Security Administration left office on Monday and will be replaced by the new Trump administration, a source told Reuters.

TSA Administrator David Pekoske, who oversaw a workforce of 60,000 employees providing security at U.S. airports and other transportation hubs, left office on Monday. He was first appointed to a five-year term by Trump in 2017 and reconfirmed for a second term in 2022 under then President Joe Biden.
