IIRC, the roll-out of the police-imitation uniforms was completed in 2008 by September 11th (:rolleyes: in itself). And the mandate with those uniforms is that screeners bypass the "security" because of the metal on those badges. The "logic" is rooted in the TSA not wanting the individual screeners losing their badges, even by just putting them in the x-ray machine. There was a a tiff in Denver about the very same thing last year. |

First of all, this is TSA; they'll make up a rule if need be. Within the CFR, I see a few ways they might be able to claim it:
-- 1520.7(l) covers anyone who's ever applied to Clear. -- a perverse reading of 1520.7(j) could potentially be construed to cover this -- anyone who's ever worked for an airline (1520.7(k) or owned an aircraft required to have a security plan (1520.7(c)) Regardless, there is a risk here, at minimum, of there being problems. And I think it's only fair to make sure people are aware of that. |
However, where the FSD has elected to waive TSO rescreening, the FSD must implement random screening of TSOs returning from breaks. |

That SOP link might have some dated information. I think that SOP info pre-dates the full roll-out of the police-imitation uniforms.

The SSI warnings may have been "deleted," but otherwise it appears to be the same as the other document. And once again, on the one with the SSI warnings deleted, you can find the SSI hidden behind the black boxes. Someone has violated 49 CFR Part 1520 within the Gov't.
Thanks for finding this. It was deleted and re-entered in Amendment 3 on March 16, 2009 Notice it is openly posted on the FBO website as a Airport Screening Contract Solicitation in Montana. Number: HSTS05-09-R-SPP061 was awarded on Sept 02 ,2009 |

To TSOs and other Covered persons.
To TSOs and other Covered persons, it is your duty to report this breach of SSI. Go ahead and ruin a few people's weekend.

And just in case anyone missed it SATTSO was JOKING. And really, does ANYONE know what any woman wants??? |
