The TSA may not be an elite, well trained, crack security force. :scared: Government report: TSA employee misconduct up 26% in 3 years - CNN.com
You're not going to attract many quality employees when you start everyone part-time, make them work split shifts and constantly varying hours, and don't give them the competitive advantage for federal job openings that other federal employees get. The job itself just sounds all around miserable. The only advantage a TSO might get is for the Federal Air Marshals. Other than that, it's pretty much a dead end job. Security jobs, in general, have high turnover rates and low standards.
Let's see. 56,000 employees, and only 3,408 offenses. That works out to only 7% of the employees caught. Or maybe it was one guy who commits 10 offenses every day, and the other 55,999 are pure as the driven snow. Another way of looking at it. 26% increase in 2 years. At that rate, 4,292 offenses in 2 more years, 5,407 in 4 years, 86,633 in 30 years, 873,360 offenses in 50 years, 8,812,473 in 70 years, etc. --John "Ne touchez pas mon truc" Bear
