The double demotion of this witness lends weight to the whistleblower’s assertion that an arrangement was in place between the witness and the heads of the Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS) to retaliate against the whistleblower. Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0500 pogoarchive.pub30.convio.net-185896707 Why Is the TSA Keeping Air Marshal Employment Disputes Under a Veil of Secrecy? http://pogoarchive.pub30.convio.net/pogo-files/alerts/homeland-security/hs-as-20101102.html The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) wants a federal air marshal's employment case to be kept under a veil of secrecy. The TSA filing with the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB)—a government panel that reviews employment disputes, including whistleblower retaliation claims—states “the record is replete with SSI” and “the identity of the Federal Air Marshals (FAMs) who acted with respect to Appellant's conduct and progressive discipline are considered SSI.” Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:00:00 -0500 pogoarchive.pub30.convio.net-110292467 Robert MacLean v.

Inherent in this sort of self-regulation is a reduction of federal oversight of imported goods coming into the country.
