Travelers aren’t the only ones who are tired of being bullied by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA): whistleblowers are speaking out now, too.

Today, three TSA executives told members of Congress that poor leadership, a lack of oversight, low morale, and widespread retaliation has led to a culture of fear at the agency.

Mark Livingston, a program manager with the TSA’s office of risk management, told members of Congress:

If you tell the truth in TSA you will be targeted. I call it the Lord of the Flies — either attack or be attacked.

From NBC:

The House Oversight Committee is investigating allegations TSA officials gave hefty bonuses to supervisors who ignored security warnings and retaliated against employees who spoke up by reassigning them and giving them negative performance reviews. Dozens of TSA employees have come forward to speak with congressional investigators about abuses of power.

Livingston told lawmakers:

I am concerned that TSA employees responsible for transportation security, intelligence and analysis fear their supervisors more than they fear a potential terrorist threat.
