The TSA has the authority to issue final rules or directives pertaining to transportation security, and in an emergency can issue rules without seeking public or industry comment.

Magaw is the current acting executive director of the Office of National Preparedness, and former head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
