Feds Shake Up Airport Security at Newark

Patrick McGeehan writes in The New York Times:

The federal government is shaking up the management of security operations at Newark Liberty International Airport, which has been plagued by screening lapses and poor morale.

The Transportation Security Administration removed Marcus Arroyo from his position as federal security director at the airport and named Mark O. Hatfield Jr., who was Mr. Arroyo's deputy, as his temporary replacement, employees of the agency said yesterday. Russell White, who oversaw aviation-security inspectors at the airport, also was relieved of his duties, they said.
