Robert A. Harding is a retired Army General and former head of a security company, and is the potential pick for head of the Transportation Security Administration, an agency under a lot of heat as of late. He has plenty of security experience, and with 33 years in the Army, Robert A. Harding is well-positioned to be confirmed by the senate in less time than it takes to get no credit check personal loans.
General Robert Harding’s Army experience
Robert A. Harding served in the U.S. Army for over three decades. Harding held a position as a “senior human intelligence officer ” in the Defense Intelligence Agency, the military component of the U.S. intelligence community, which is essentially the military version of the CIA. Before serving for the DIA, Robert Harding was the director for the intelligence for the Army’s Southern Command. The duties of the post had Robert A. Harding overseeing the military intelligence operations for Central and South America as well as the Caribbean. He was responsible for planning and executing intelligence operations, getting armed forces loans for those purposes, for more than one continent.
Robert A. Harding’s Military Decorations
From Executive Gov, “Harding’s military awards and decorations include the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the Army Distinguished Service Medal, the Defense Superior Medal, the Legion of Merit with three oak leaf clusters, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, and the Meritorious Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters.” With such an extensive military record, Harding is well-positioned to be easily confirmed by the Senate.
Head of Harding Security Associates
After leaving the military in 2001, Robert A. Harding started Harding Security Associates in 2003. Harding Security Associates is a private contractor and consulting firm that, according to their website, provide “security specialists, intelligence analysts, counterintelligence professionals, forensic technicians and senior program advisors” to U.S. Government agencies. Robert Harding himself sold Harding Security Associates in 2009.
Harding nominated to head the Transportation Security Administration
Robert A. Harding was not President Obama’s original choice for the top job in the TSA. The original choice was Erroll Southers, an airport police official at LAX. The nomination was stymied by Republicans. This block was because of the fear Southers would create a screener’s union, which would increase costs for the government. Robert Harding will most likely be fairly easily confirmed by the Senate.
The TSA is not without controversy
The Travel Security Administration began in 2001, which Robert A. Harding is set to take over is not without controversy. The screening of commercial airline passengers and luggage is a large security, intelligence, and public relations task. Airline passengers are growing frustrated with longer wait times and regulations. Full-body scanners are also currently in testing at some TSA station, which is raising very serious privacy concerns. Robert A. Harding will have to head security of our nation’s airports, and also deal with public discontent over the state of airports. It is a hard dollar, but President Obama believes Robert A. Harding is the one to take on the credit repair of this agency.
