Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to visit Atlanta airport
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson is scheduled to observe Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials at work Thursday during a visit to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Johnson, a Morehouse College alum, has visited Georgia at least three other times since he was sworn into his job in December of 2013 as the fourth Homeland Security secretary.
No word yet on what is prompting his visit to the world's busiest airport. But he is at least the second high-ranking Homeland Security official to visit the airport since last fall. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske stopped there in September to speak at the Airports Council International North America annual conference.
