In the biggest school district in the USA minimum is 3 a school year, once for summer school at the desecration of the Principal.

What happens in case of the consecration or sanctification of the Principal?

In an interview on our local NBC news last night, TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein (who doesn't like to be criticized) essentially told the reporter that by running TSA agents did what they are trained to do - run. She did not address the many reports of agents also spreading rumors about shootings, bombs and victims.

Perhaps if TSOs are expected to run from trouble, greater efforts should be made to hire TSOs who are fit enough to actually run.

I'm glad Ms. Farbstein clarified that she expects less of our TSOs on the frontline of the WOT than she does of our elementary school teachers. IIRC, one teacher at Sandy Hook took shelter and hid and was widely criticized for her dereliction of duty.

Being a bit faster than the slowest screener is all the fitness needed. It certainly is evident that there is no fitness standard for TSA screeners.
