If this report is correct looks like TSA is stocking up on new screeners and canines.



So how many total TSA screeners are there after counting employee loss?

2000 new screeners, 200 per two-week session at the "training academy", means they will all be trained in 20 weeks. Summer travel season will be over by the time they are all trained. And what's the drop-out rate? 15%?

Seems to me we heard this story last year, too.
