John S. Pistole (born June 1, 1956) is the former Administrator of the United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and a former Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He is currently the President of Anderson University.
Pistole was born in 1956 in Baltimore, Maryland. He is a graduate of Anderson University and the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. Pistole practiced law for two years before joining the FBI in 1983.
Since the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks, John Pistole has been involved in the formation of terrorism policies during the Bush and Obama administrations.
On 14 April 2004, Pistole testified before the 9/11 Commission at its 10th public hearing on a panel, Preventing Future Attacks Inside the United States.
On 16 June 2004, Pistole testified before the 9/11 Commission at its 12th public hearing. The page on the 9/11 Commission website does not include Pistole's name, and the PDF transcript does not list him as a participant, but he testified on June 16, 2004 as a panelist. He discussed threat levels of a possible attack by Al-Qaeda in 2004, as well as other topics.
On 23 August 2004, Pistole testified before Congress about changes the FBI made in response to the 9/11 Commission.
Pistole and Valerie E. Caproni were the two FBI officials who approved a laying out the FBI's policy on the limits to the interrogation of captives taken during the United States' war on terror. The memo was from the FBI's General Counsel, to all offices, explaining that FBI officials were not allowed to engage in coercive interrogations; FBI officials were not allowed to sit in on coercive interrogations conducted by third parties; FBI officials were required to immediately report any instances of suspected coercive interrogation up the FBI chain of command.
