New Federal Security Director for American Samoa Airport



January 14, 2008 By

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) today named William Haleck as the federal security director (FSD) for Pago Pago International Airport - a position he previously held when the American Samoa airport was federalized in 2002.

"We are thrilled to welcome Bill back into the ranks of federal security directors," said Mo McGowan, TSA's assistant administrator for Security Operations. "Our agency must have experienced and consistent leadership to be effective, and Bill has provided that leadership since the very beginning of our existence in Pago Pago."

Haleck, the first FSD in American Samoa, left the agency in 2007 upon the expiration of his original contract with TSA last summer. He reapplied for the job once it was publicly available for competition.

Prior to serving with TSA, Haleck worked 24 years with the Drug Enforcement Administration. He is expected to report for work in Pago Pago by the end of the month.

The position of FSD was created by the Aviation and Transportation Security Act signed by President Bush on Nov. 19, 2001.
