TSA Names John W. Hursey as Federal Security Director for North Dakota
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
has named John W. Hursey as federal security director (FSD) for the state of North Dakota. He will
assume responsibility for commercial airports in Fargo, Bismarck, Grand
Forks, Minot, Dickinson, Williston, Jamestown and Devil's Lake.
Hursey was the first FSD for Northern Minnesota, leading the post 9-11
federalization of airports in Duluth, Bemidji, Brainerd, International
Falls, Grand Rapids, Ely and Hibbing. He was selected as a charter member
of the National FSD Advisory Council, representing FSDs throughout the
nation to TSA senior leadership and the Department of Homeland Security.
Before joining TSA, Hursey served 27 years in the U.S. Air Force, leading
law enforcement, security and force protection operations throughout
Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Korea and the United States. He retired
from the Air Force as a lieutenant colonel.
"John is a decorated leader," said Mo
McGowan, TSA assistant administrator for security operations. "His
background in law enforcement and security operations, as well as his
previous experience as a federal security director, make him an excellent
choice as our senior representative in North Dakota."
Hursey holds a Bachelor of Science degree from McKendree College and a
Master of Public Administration degree from Golden Gate University.
