TSO Training Report from GAO

Basic Training Program for Transportation Security Officers Would Benefit from Performance Goals and Measures
Ya' think?

Seems that the only good thing to have come out of the "training academy" is:


7 TSA also reported a 19 percent reduction in the attrition rate during the first 180 days of being hired for those attending TSO Basic Training at the Academy in 2016 versus those who received their initial training at field airports through the New Hire Training Program.
But then the report goes on to day:

In addition to changes in SOPs, OSO officials indicated they may also change the timing of when TSOs employed by TSA attend TSO Basic Training. Specifically, officials told us that OSO plans to implement a new model for TSO Basic Training in which TSOs will attend TSO Basic Training 2 to 6 months after they are hired rather than as soon as is practical.
No wonder screening is so fouled up.
