华盛顿讯——据一位知情人士透露，特朗普总统打算提名戴维·卡明斯领导美国运输安全管理局。
卡明斯目前在政府服务承包商塞尔科公司担任公民服务高级副总裁。他曾在交通和运营领域担任多个领导职务，包括盐湖城冬季奥运会主管。
该消息人士称，美国运输安全管理局代理局长哈·阮·麦克尼尔将协助完成领导层过渡。
此次提名尚未正式公布，一旦获批，卡明斯将执掌这家负责美国机场及其他交通枢纽安全安检工作的机构。
卡明斯接手美国运输安全管理局之际，正值该机构面临资金不稳定、人员短缺以及美国客运量激增带来的日益严峻的运营压力。他将在史上最长时间的联邦政府部分停摆期间，经历参议院确认程序。
在最近的国会听证会上，麦克尼尔警告称，长期的拨款中断已给该机构的 workforce 和运营带来压力，部分机场出现了缺勤率上升、人员流失和安检通道等待时间过长的问题。她表示，尽管该机构正在筹备包括2026年国际足联世界杯在内的多项重大全球活动，但在预算不确定的情况下，仍难以招聘和留住安检人员。
在此次国土安全部停摆期间，已有超过780名美国运输安全管理局官员辞职。国土安全部官员担心这一数字还会上升——2025年的上一次停摆导致近1100名官员离职。对于一支近5万人的队伍而言，人员短缺对招聘和留用工作具有长期负面影响。
上一位经参议院确认的美国运输安全管理局局长是戴维·佩科斯克，他于2022年获得连任，任期五年。担任代理局长的麦克尼尔此前曾在美国运输安全管理局及国家安全领域担任高级职务，并一直强调稳定资金和运营连续性的必要性。
Trump to nominate David Cummins as TSA administrator

Washington— President Trump intends to nominate David Cummins to lead the Transportation Security Administration, according to a person familiar with the decision.
Cummins currently serves as senior vice president of citizen services at Serco, a government services contractor. He has held multiple leadership roles in transportation and operations, including as a director for the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.
Ha Nguyen McNeill, the TSA’s acting administrator, will assist with the leadership transition, the source said.
The nomination, which has not yet been formally announced, would place Cummins atop the agency responsible for security screening at U.S. airports and other transportation hubs.
Cummins would take over the TSA at a time when it is grappling with funding instability, staffing shortfalls and mounting operational pressure as U.S. travel volumes surge. He will face a Senate confirmation process amid the longest partial government shutdown in history.
In recent congressional testimony, McNeill warned that prolonged funding lapses have strained the agency’s workforce and operations, with rising absenteeism, attrition and long checkpoint wait times at some airports. She said the agency is struggling to hire and retain officers during budget uncertainty, even as it prepares for major global events including the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
More than 780 TSA officers have resigned during the ongoing DHS shutdown. DHS officials fear that number could climb — the previous shutdown in 2025 drove nearly 1,100 officers to leave the agency. For a workforce of just under 50,000, the staffing shortages have long-term implications for recruitment and retention.
The last Senate-confirmed TSA administrator was David Pekoske, who was confirmed to a second five-year term in 2022. McNeill, who has served as acting administrator, previously held senior roles at TSA and across the national security community and has emphasized the need for stable funding and operational continuity.
