After 31 years sucking on the public teat he retires with a $100K pension for life and gets a gig as a TV network’s Talking Head Expert for a million a year. Ka-ching, time to cash in like all the other “public servants”(sic) in D.C. Or perhaps he will join the Security Industrial Complex and be a VP at the Chertoff Group.
Probably saw an intel memo about an upcoming terrorist attack and decided “Better quit now so I can claim “No attacks on MY watch.””

Unless, of course, you're genuinely celebrating Administrator Pistole's retirement, as many people would celebrate a friend's retirement after years of public service ... in which case, I apologize.
(yeah, I thought so)

Retiring Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole will be likely returning to his Hoosier roots to become president of his alma mater, Anderson University, the university announced Thursday.
He will be nominated for president by the university's search committee next month for the trustee board's approval, said Anderson University spokesman Chris Williams.

Let's start a contest for a nickname.
FYI, the Village Idiot retired in July (if anyone noticed).
