Yesterday, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced it appointed John Sammon assistant administrator of the recently created Transportation Sector Network Management (TSNM) office.

Most recently a senior manager for software venture firm e-Carload, Sammon has more than 25 years’ experience in the rail, port and trucking industries. He previously held senior vice president and other upper management positions at CSX Transportation and Conrail.

“[Sammon’s] leadership will strengthen our capability to actively engage with our public and private sector partners in improving security across the transportation network,” said TSA Assistant Secretary Kip Hawley in a prepared statement.

The TSNM oversees security for railroads, mass transit, cargo, ships, airlines, airports, highways, pipelines and international transportation. The office assigns a general manager to each sector who’s responsible for the security of their mode.
