Seriously? An unnamed administrator can hand out KTNs to anyone he has designated 'low risk' without a background check?
Did he start with his immediate family and circle of friends?
Setting aside any concerns about the breadth of the delegation (or the merits), the "Administrator" is defined earlier in the law (in the definitions section) as the TSA Administrator. This is a fairly typical way of defining terms that come up repeatedly in laws.
