Sole Witness and Deciding Official For The TSA's Case Has Been Demoted Twice Since Firing Robert Mac
In March 2011, the Project On Government Oversight in Washington DC conducted an investigation and discovered that the senior manager who was the sole witness and deciding official has been demoted twice since he fired Robert MacLean. MacLean's deciding official, Frank Donzanti, went from the Special Agent in Charge of all TSA law enforcement operations in California and Hawaii to a non-supervisory position at a small airport.
Since February 2010, Donzanti has been under investigation by the TSA Office of Inspection and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel for sexual harassment and quid pro quo arrangement allegations.
