TSA Subcontractors
 

I had no idea that TSA subcontracts work at some airports. Found the document below in my bag when I got home from MCI. A quick Google search found this: https://www.tsa.gov/for-industry/screening-partnerships

Not sure if contracting with the lowest bidder is the best way to ensure security.

This has been known for a while. It's up to the airport if they want contracted screeners, and then need to convince the TSA to allow it (while the contracted company still has to follow TSA rules).
A number of large airports expressed desire to enter the program when the TSA did their work slow down earlier in the year.

I see that this notice provides a spot for the person who screened your luggage to put his/her ID. That's something the TSA needs to do to make it easier to track down items missing from screened luggage.

That said, I would imagine that a screener who is going to steal from luggage is not going to leave a note and makes it easier for the TSA to blame baggage handlers and others.

Agree, there should be a screener number or other identifier so TSA could quickly understand who screened that particular item. It would not need identify the screener to the public but be used as an internal control.

Or, leave a note with someone else's code.

That possibility seems a built in incentive to keep control of your inspection cards.
Personal responsibility!

Um ... the cards shown above have a blank where inspectors appear to hand-write their screener ID. As far as I can tell, there's nothing that keeps an inspector from hand-writing someone else's screener ID on a card. Personal control of inspection cards has nothing to do with it.
