"We're already there."

CarmelGreg,

You had been doing so good not to insult people but here you did it again.

No the screeners in place aren't all underquailfied. Most, if not all are not moviated though.

Your speaking of stuff you don't know of. The test were made easy, no doubt in anyone's mind on that one. But TSA did that to make sure everyone passed I guess. But many screeners took that test as insulting.

Most screeners are people that lost jobs after 9/11 and couldn't get another. Others are just retired from the military or police work. Still others wanted a chance to get into the federal system, which a lot did.

In about a year, I can't wait to see what this board is like. With how TSA is doing hiring for replacement screeners, you might really be complaining about wait times. We've lost about 10 screeners on one shift in the last two months, and only had 1 or 2 people hired to replace them. We expect about 5 more gone in the next 3 months (including myself) and the management still can't say when we may get 2 new guys trained.
