Obama's TSA Nominee Calls It Quits

Barack Obama's choice to lead the TSA, Erroll Southers, has withdrawn his name from consideration. His reason was something about his nomination becoming politicized.

Hmm maybe it was because evidence came to light that in the past he used his position to do some snooping on a private citizen who was not suspected of any crime and then lying to congress about it.

Southers first described the episode in his October affidavit, telling the Senate panel that two decades ago he asked a San Diego Police Department employee to access confidential criminal records about the boyfriend. Southers said he had been censured by superiors at the FBI. He described the incident as isolated and expressed regrets about it.

Yup, that is who I want in charge of the TSA. Somebody who if I cross will go do a full background check on me. Seems like I have heard this sort of thing before.

Jim Hoft over at Gateway Pundit also has a story about this guy calling pro-life folks terrorists.

In the meantime expect the Democrats to continue to whine about the TSA has no leader and lacking a big kahuna they just can't be expected to protect us from 8 year old Cub Scouts who wish to do us harm.
