You have more faith than I. I believe the applications and "training" are likely to be handled just as stringently as the TSA has applied everything else to their own ranks - training, background checks, internal cross-checks, etc. - i.e., not at all.
I can't think of a single example of a current TSA employee who demonstrates any understanding of the "basics of how the TSA is supposed to work."
