With (let's say) 40,000 employees; and only 1 out of 1,000 applicatants were accepted, that means TSA had 40,000,000 (thats forty million) applicants for positions. I find that number a bit hard to believe.
Is representative of the number of applications that have been received since TSA inception vs the number that was actually hired and held the job after all was said and done. Some people were weeded out immediately and some failed any portion of the process.
