The Aviation Security Advisory Committee, formed post-PanAm 103 bombing, is being rendered ineffective as the DHS eliminates all advisory committee memberships. Despite being mandated by Congress to improve aviation safety, the committee will exist without members to implement its recommendations. This situation underscores a broader theme in governance where agencies are defunded or left without personnel, diminishing their ability to function. The move raises questions about resource mismanagement and the commitment to national security amid pressing aviation safety issues, especially as Boeing faces significant challenges.
Members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee received a memo Tuesday saying that the department is eliminating the membership of all advisory committees as part of a 'commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that DHS activities prioritize our national security.'
