TSA BDOs
Where do they come from? Are they promoted from within? Hired from without? any formal background beyond the training TSA gives? Any references?
A search in previous threads seems to indicate they are standard-uniformed BDOs. Are there also undercover BDOs? How does this work? |
Promoted from with in. As far as I'm concerned no training ;)

Is Voodoo practitioner actually a promotion from clerk??
"Miss Cleo is my idol! When I grow up, I want to be just like her. Except lower-paid." (Apologies to Miss Cleo for the comparison.) |
Wherever they come from they should all be riffed! BDO's serve no useful purpose and are a dead drag on the public good. No going back to old positions, just out the door.

Interesting in that there are NO educational requirements, not even a GED. Given those key requirements, here is your competition for a SPOTNik job: |

Didn't the GAO report reveal that the majority had only a high school diploma or a GED?

But there's a more interesting study... http://www.latimes.com/science/scien...,2929974.story “Overall, we find that dishonest individuals... prefer to enter government service,” wrote Hanna and coauthor Shing-yi Wang, an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. |
There is not one Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency that utilizes the TSA's behavior detection voodoo program.
Most TSA BDO practitioners are two-stripers (lead screeners), but all TSA employees can exhibit Behavior Detection VooDoo tendencies. Call them out on this at all times. :D^ If you see a two striper looking around with nothing to do, that's your guy.
