Have at least one year of full-time work experience in security

Unlike a bus driver, a screener doesn't need to be able to balance their checkbook ("Knowledge of basic arithmetic"), neither really need a HS diploma or GED, and neither need to speak English as a first language.
...and for all these years, we've been comparing screeners to burger-flippers...
