===Investigations of the TSA===
In 2013, The Office of Inspector General published a report titled "TSA's Actions Insufficient to Address Inspector General Recommendations to Improve its Office of Inspection". The report touched upon several topics of misconduct but the main focus of the report was of the TSA criminal investigators who received a premium on their pay despite not meeting the minimum qualification to be eligible for this pay.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.oig.dhs.gov/assets/Mgmt/2013/OIG_13-123_Sep13.pdf | title=Transportation Security Administration - Office of Inspection's Efforts To Enhance Transportation Security | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125013533/https://www.oig.dhs.gov/assets/Mgmt/2013/OIG_13-123_Sep13.pdf | archive-date=January 25, 2021 | publisher=[[United States Department of Homeland Security]]}}</ref>

The TSA Office of Accountability Inspection Act of 2015 published by the Committee of Commerce, Science, and Transportation, was based on a report of an investigation that found issues with the TSA. The act also followed up the Office of Inspector General's 2013 report, mandating that the TSA should comply with Federal Regulation and correct the wage of the TSA's Criminal Investigators.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CRPT-114srpt111/pdf/CRPT-114srpt111.pdf|title=TSA Office of Accountability Act|access-date=August 23, 2020}}</ref> Had no action been taken this misuse of funds was estimated to cost taxpayers, in a span of five years, $17 million.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-114publ53/pdf/PLAW-114publ53.pdf | title=Public Law 114–53 - An Act to require the Transportation Security Administration to conform to existing Federal law and regulations regarding criminal investigator positions, and for other purposes | date=2015-09-30 | publisher=[[114th United States Congress]] | website=www.govinfo.gov}}</ref>

In response, the TSA contracted a consulting firm to assist the TSA with the Office of Inspector General recommendations. However, the Office of Inspector Generals has found the TSA's response lacking as they have yet to fix a majority of the issues brought up in the report.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.oig.dhs.gov/assets/pr/2015/oigpr_071315.pdf | title=TSA's Actions Insufficient to Address Inspector General - Recommendations to Improve its Office of Inspection  | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201126104045/https://www.oig.dhs.gov/assets/pr/2015/oigpr_071315.pdf | archive-date=November 26, 2020 | date=2015-07-13 | website=www.oig.dhs.gov | publisher=[[United States Office of Inspector General]]}}</ref>
