TSA Announces New Aviation Security Advisory Committee Members

Industry Representatives Serve Two Year Terms On The Panel

TSA Administrator John S. Pistole (pictured) announced the appointment of 24 new members to the Aviation Security Advisory Committee (ASAC) on Monday. ASAC is TSA’s sole Federal advisory committee that gives the agency recommendations for improving aviation security methods, equipment, and procedures.

“The Aviation Security Advisory Committee plays a vital role in helping TSA continuously enhance our ability to ensure the security of the traveling public,” said TSA Administrator John S. Pistole. “One of my main priorities since joining TSA has been strengthening our relationship with stakeholders, and I look forward to working with these key security and industry leaders as we continue evolving into a high-performance, world-class counterterrorism organization that focuses on risk-based, intelligence-driven, layered security.”

This advisory committee enhances TSA’s security posture through consultation with key partners concerning potential risks to infrastructure, passengers, and cargo. In addition, ASAC gathers input from stakeholders on the effectiveness of security procedures and develops recommendations for improvements to aviation security methods.

The committee has a membership limit of 27 representatives and candidates beyond the 24 announced today may be presented for appointment as needed to support the work of the committee. Members serve up to two-year terms and those included in today’s announcement will serve terms of office that will expire on July 23, 2013, coinciding with the expiration of the charter.

ASAC was established in 1989 following the terrorist bombing of Pan American World Airways Flight 103.
