The final sentence of the article:
"TSA will continuously set the standard for excellence in transportation security through its people, processes and technology."

“It’s been 10 years since TSA took over security at the airports, and a lot of the people who rolled out the operation are still with the firm,” Mali said.

And with that being said, I think I'm now going to be ill

They are, of course, also the very worst gov't-funded, nationally-deployed airport security organization in the USA.

It is simple statistics actually. In a group of anything, given definable criteria, there is always a percentage of the group that can be defined as the best of the group. The real concern is the definition of the mean and the standard deviation that defines "best."
At least that is what I remember from my statistics class.

I don't care that TSA had an awards ceremony. Other public agencies have them, and I think that's okay because employees of all sectors benefit from recognition and positive reinforcement. I'm surprised that traveling to Hawaii during the peak season was approved, though, especially after the GSA awards ceremony fiasco a couple of years ago. Would it be funny or sad if TSA paid for the travel using FF miles?

Other key TSA employees being recognized include the Employee of the Year, Denisse Ogata, PA, and Officer of the Year, Iwa Aki, TSO, both of whom could not be in attendance when TSA presented its Eighth Annual TSA Awards at the Kaua‘i Marriott Resort and Beach Club.
TSA held an awards ceremony and the winners had too much self-respect to attend. Outstanding!
