TSA employee misconduct cases up nearly 30%; nearly half result in suspension or firing: GAO


By SB Anderson

A U.S. House subcommittee is holding hearings today on employee misconduct at the Transportation Security Administration. Among the topics: A new General Accountability Office report that examined 9,600 employee misconduct cases from 2010 to 2012 and found the number of cases increased 27%; nearly half resulted in a letter of reprimand; 17% lost their jobs; and “additional procedures could help TSA better monitor the investigations and adjudications process.”

Two charts below highlight the GAO’s examination of the misconduct cases. And at the bottom is an embedded copy of the report itself.
