3rd in TSA "chain of command" at EWR resigns

As a result of the leak of questions on the test for possible screener hires. For "personal reasons", of course.
Grandinetti supervised checkpoint and bomb-detection machine screening operations at Newark Liberty, one of the nation's busiest hubs. His other responsibilities included helping to coordinate the agency's hiring, promotion and training initiatives at the airport. The only people who outranked him were Hatfield and Barbara Powell, the TSA's acting deputy federal security director.
My emphasis. This must be the guy whose screeners failed to find 95%(?) of the test "bombs" sent through checkpoints at EWR. Wonder if they are going to pay his salary after he's gone the same way they paid Arroyo's.

Late Friday, "after the news cycle" resignation for personal reasons. Classic "within the beltway" style.

How could he not at an agency with no accountability?

If the TSA accidentally hired Osama Bin Laden, they'd try to spin it off as something like "it takes a terrorist to catch a terrorist".

This agency is a disgrace.
