Former correctional officer - prison guard? The last thing the TSA needs are more former prison guards and former police officers. That's not the mission of the organization.

I'd look into going back to prison guard, since we keep incarcerating more and more prisoners. Here in CA, prisons are hiring.

IMO, part of the problem is that some dingus thought early on that the TSA needed former Special Forces and retired Marines and washed-out cops and maybe even washed-out prison guards. So that's what they got. And that's why the TSA is such a screwed up organization from top to bottom.

What the TSA needed were people with experience in dealing politely with non-criminals, not people well-versed in arresting or killing or controlling people, like cops, military heroes or prison guards.

You're right - they're not all clowns and losers. But there are far too many clowns and losers, from the top all the way to the bottom.

Again, congratulations on having enough self-respect to avoid that agency.
