Actually, you probably don't want to know the answer to that as it will just make your head hurt.
Allegedly, screeners & all airport workers, are subject to 'random' screening, but in practice it seems little if any screening of either group ever happens, especially the screeners.
This likely has something to do w/the large numbers of screeners found to have sticky fingers...if they were subject to screenings, especially on the exit side, it's likely those numbers would plummet.
