A TSA employee comes into this, the den of lions, and admits that he thinks that checking IDs provides minimal (if any) added security value, and that when he trains other employees, he tries to spend more of his limited time training on things that we all agree do make a difference in security (like WEIs). Now you want to criticize him for poorly training on a security practice which the vast majority on this forum believe doesn't add value in the first place?
I mean, I know it's fun to treat TSA employees like punching bags, but fair is fair ...
TSO's are assign jobs after they show competency in that area.
If a TDC doesn't know what ID's are ok then someone has placed an unqualified person to the job.
I would bet if the TDC's are having trouble with ID then others positions are having issues with those skills also.
The bigger issue is a faulty training program.
