Mark Hatfield was an acting Administrator of The Transportation Security Administration. Mark Hatfield is son of the former Oregon senator and governor Mark Odom Hatfield.

He was appointed acting administrator after his predecessor Melvin Carraway was removed from office after a report found TSA agents failed to find fake explosives and weapons in internal tests.[1]

A 2018 report found that Hatfield as Administrator had "interfered with disciplinary procedures designed to prevent favoritism at the agency".

Career

Before joining the Department of Homeland Security, Hatfield was Managing Director for the public affairs practice of Burson-Marsteller in New York, and Director of Corporate Communications for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.[2]

Hatfield worked as TSA Federal Security Director (FSD) at Miami International Airport from 2007 to 2014,[2] and has previously also worked for Newark Liberty International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport.[3]

Hatfield held senior management positions with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from 2002 to 2015, most recently as Deputy Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration,[2] A 2018 watchdog investigation found that "TSA senior leaders deviated from standard policy and practice in a number of key respects indicating that the (disciplined worker) received unusually favorable treatment in the resolution of his disciplinary matter", pointing out that "former Deputy Administrator Mark Hatfield, Chief Counsel Francine Kerner and former Office of Professional Responsibility Administrator Heather Book each interfered with the disciplinary process in a way that circumvented the very TSA policies and procedures that were established to prevent favoritism in such circumstances."[4]

As of 2022, Hatfield is the Assistant Aviation Director and Chief Security Officer in charge of public safety and security for Miami International Airport (MIA) and Miami-Dade County’s four general aviation airports, responsible for directing day-to-day security, police and fire rescue operations.[2]
