On September 29, 2021, the House Committee on Homeland Security held a hearing titled “20 Years After 9/11: The State of the Transportation Security Administration.” The committee advisory and the Congress.gov event record list Hon. Peter Neffenger as a witness: former TSA Administrator (2015–2017), appearing with former administrators J.M. Loy and John S. Pistole and then-Administrator David Pekoske.

The printed event text identifies him as TSA administrator from 2015 to 2017 and a retired Coast Guard vice admiral, and states that under his leadership TSA developed automated screening technology, examined airport public-area security, and worked with industry on checkpoint delays. Those are the committee’s introductory sentences. This draft does not invent additional spoken quotes from his oral statement. The Congress.gov text URL is the citation.

Opinion

The following is commentary by this site. It is not a finding of fact and not a legal conclusion.

Compiler take

They brought the former administrators back for the twentieth anniversary and read a complimentary card about delays he had already been yelled at for in 2016. The hearing is real. It is not a clean bill for the Smartmatic year.
