IMPERIAL, Pa. (AP) -- There's a new federal security director at Pittsburgh International Airport.

Joseph Terrell, who was the Transportation Security Administration's director at Wilmington International Airport in North Carolina, is the new top security official at the Pittsburgh airport.

Terrell replaces Robert Blose who resigned in May amid allegations of fraud, intimidation and sexual harassment by TSA management at the airport. No criminal charges were filed as a result of that investigation.

The airport's interim security director, Tom Rice, is returning to Port Columbus International Airport in Ohio.
