TSA Gets Vocal Leader

The Transportation Security Administration has named Mel Carraway its new general manager for field operations in the agency's Office of Security Operations. Carraway has been in the job on an acting basis since the beginning of the year, after serving as federal security director of Albuquerque International Sunport in New Mexico. But that's not the most interesting item on his resume. That would be the fact that he "holds a bachelor's degree in vocal performance from Heidelberg College in Tiffin, Ohio" and "has performed worldwide in operas, weddings and concerts." (But before you jump to any conclusions about Carraway's qualifications, you should know that he also was a state trooper in Indiana for 22 years.)
