Yes it is. TSA screeners come from a wide variety of backgrounds and a common discussion on break is what you did before you starting working for the TSA. More than a few eyebrows rose when I joined those discussions especially when I mentioned that the smell of decomposing flesh really lingers on you even after you leave for the day. It was a great way to get through the line at the bank quickly. Might work at the airport as well if someone would care to try.
