Trump telework reversal undermines aviation security, ex-TSA official says
Briefly

A former TSA official warns that the Trump administration's requirement for federal employees to return to the office full-time could lead to a significant loss of experienced air cargo security personnel. Douglas Brittin highlighted the risk of attrition, which would undermine the agency's recruitment efforts and ability to maintain essential security programs. He stressed that the loss of expertise could hinder crucial initiatives, including the implementation of enhanced screening technologies and could compromise national security, especially given recent threats to aviation from terrorism.
The new Trump administration's directive that federal employees return to the office full time will drive away skilled professionals who are protecting the aviation system from terrorist threats.
Losing experienced personnel during these important initiatives will jeopardize their success and, by extension, our national security.
