#1 General Harding was the best pick for the job.
He pulled himself off. Here is some better speculation of this contracting hubub.

#2 Career Army officers should have nothing to fear from contracting probes and investigations. If the perception of wrong doing is false, then the investigation will reveal it as such. If there is real smoke in the teepee.... then the back door is a liable option. General officers both active and retired are fully aware of the sensitivities regarding gov't contracting. Failing to seek a LEGAL OPINION (LO) prior to marching off into the sunset can result in a disaster. No LO, then your arse is hanging out. My sympathy meter remains pegged at ZERO.

#3 Nobody in their right mind will put their hat in the ring for the TSA leader position. If you really want to make things more secure with common sense ideas and principles, you will immediately run afoul of the Administration, as they will have a different agenda, based upon their ideological politics.

So it will be business as usual---Thousands Standing Around.
