E.g. if you post that one TSO at this checkpoint was involved in X this month, it becomes a little easier to figure out who that one person was.

That doesn't mean it couldn't be done, of course. It just means that you may have to aggregate in much larger units ... say, nationwide.
Which is what Boggie Dog suggested when he said "no names, locations or other information that could lead to identifying a person".

Right after "nn passengers were arrested after investigations of suspicious behavior or fraudulent travel documents"
it could list:
"nn TSA employees were arrested for theft."
and
"nn TSA employees were suspended or fired for their actions while at work."

But that's a level of accountability we'll never see. 4, 8 and 17.
