WASHINGTON -- A House committee said Monday that the head of security operations at the Transportation Security Administration has been replaced.
"Kelly Hoggan has been removed from his position as head of security at TSA," the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform posted on Twitter.
Allegations of mismanagement withinthe administration, including reports of agency employees missing dangerous items in covert tests, have drawn congressional scrutiny and prompted multiple hearings on Capitol Hill.
The oversight committee said Hoggan received more than $90,000 in bonuses over a period from late 2013 to late 2014.
Hoggan's ouster also comes amid growing concerns about security lines at airports this summer. In recent weeks, there have been reports of thousands of people missing flights because of lengthy waits.
