Actually, the TSA has been starting to share intel with their employees in an ill-advised move to improve their self-esteem. An unintended circumstance was the fact that quite a few had things show up in the expanded background check that made them ineligible, and were subsequently terminated. Whoopsie! A few more "bad apples" are no longer on the government payroll. 
^
^ Is that program still being implemented?

According to Ron they get to see the same unclassified info that we can all see on the website, which as anyone with a familiarity with security clearances can tell you means they know squat more than CNN does, and probably less than wikileaks.
Threre is just no way that the rank and file of the TSA are in a position to have access to classified intel, since they can't even pass the much, much less stringent background checks for employment in many cases.
Posting from my phone at LGA again, so the typo count will increase.

Back in the 60's, I. F. Stone was a thorn in the side of government efforts to keep secrets. He was very capable of piecing together accurate information by simply reading a variety of news articles and sources on a subject. His weekly newsletter was always informative.
