The client, a Federal Air Marshal with TSA, was investigated by the agency for alleged misconduct. The agency first made a preliminary determination to suspend the client’s access to classified information (otherwise known as top-secret clearance). The agency then made a final determination to revoke the client’s top-secret clearance.
Pursuant to the agency’s decision to make that decision final, an appeal was filed to the Department of Homeland Security, Security Appeals Board (SAB). After submitting the briefing and supporting documentation, the Homeland Security SAB overturns TSA’s revocation of the client’s clearance.
The agency then subsequently DISMISSED the underlying misconduct investigation. The client returned to duty.
