Actually, this is happening all around the country. Many airports are participating. Some at SAT have taken the courses, as well. And you take thee course with other students not associated with TSA.
As I understand it, TSA is testing this out, and they may eventually expand it into a undergrad degree. Right now, as I understand, TSA pays for the classes. Nit sure who will pay if it goes to a full degree program.

Wow I dont know if i should laugh, cry or just palm smack my head.
Im sorry if TSA employees are having to take a class on critical thinkning skills and decision making then the cause is already lost. Of course that brings into question the intelligence level and education backgrounds amongst a long list of things.
oh god a TSA degree , that makes a liberal arts degree sound good for once.

I'm very disappointed to learn that TSOs are attending these courses at taxpayer expense. They should go learn critical life skills on their own time and own dime.
