I will speak to the GSC, as they represent the owners of the property and equipment I am using, but I am under no obligation to answer TSA questions, nor will I.
Just screen my bag and stop trying to pretend your agency knows what it's doing - a 4hr class to learn behavior profiling is so beyond laughable, it would be like teaching a bunch of 4th graders calculus and physics and expecting them to engineer our next Mars landing.
I haven't even seen a GSC since 2003. And even then, most of them would consult us before clearing anything. I'm not sure that they would, or even have the authority to, clear you during the screening process.
At MSP, the GSCs are from the airlines and don't represent the owners of the property. The airport is own by the Metropolitan Airports Comission.
4 hour class? That's funny. Where did you hear that?
