President Trump intends to nominate David Cummins to serve as administrator of the Transportation Security Administration, according to a person familiar with the decision.

The nomination would place Cummins in charge of the federal agency responsible for security screening at airports across the United States. The TSA, established after the September 11, 2001 attacks, employs tens of thousands of security officers and oversees aviation security protocols nationwide.

Details about Cummins' background and qualifications for the role were not immediately available. The position requires Senate confirmation.

The TSA administrator position has seen multiple leadership changes in recent years, with the agency facing ongoing challenges related to staffing, security procedures, and passenger wait times at airports across the country.
