    TSA Airport Screener

    Has anyone ever worked for the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) as an airport screener? How was the job, and did you like it? Why or why not?

    I did it for 2 1/2 years as a "Lead Screener"


    I would rather go to the dentist and have an unecessary root canal on each tooth in my mouth without the benefit of anesthesia than ever work for that organization again.

    :D

    Do a search on this website and you can read a few threads about the TSA and being a screener.

    I have heard that from a lot of TSA and former TSA folks.

    I remember a few years ago the very first page of the TSA Web site had a link to click if you were trying to serve a TSA employee with child support enforcement papers. THE FIRST PAGE. That migh speak volumes about the quality of the employees...excluding Ironhead of course, he had the good sense to get out.;)
    Helen Keller graduated from college with honors. She was blind and deaf. So what's your problem?

    I can tell you that a family friend used it as job when then when she was in school. She's liked it, and is in the academy for a local PD now. Never did finish school I guess that just wasn't her thing.
