TSA 3 hours a week of training?
Did anyone notice the discussion about the 27 TSA baggage screeners in HNL who 'opted out' of screening bags?

According to Nico Melendez, "Training for the job includes about 40 hours in the classroom and as much as 60 hours of on-the-job training, Melendez said. Officers also go through three hours of training each week."
Three hours each week for training?

source, who asked to not be named because the person is not authorized to release the information. The harshest penalty the workers face is dismissal. An internal review board will decide disciplinary actions on a case-by-case basis.
Dismissal is the harshest penalty? These people if guilty of dereliction of duties need to go to jail!

Think about it. Even law enforcement officers do not get 3 hours of training each week in addition to their duties.

Quality LEO's don't need to spend nearly ten per cent of their work day playing around. Quality LEO's are expected to work for a living. Quality LEOs are expected to get their training right the first time around.
I wouldn't think a TDC really needs to spend three hours every week studying the fine points of the law when they still haven't mastered the website-posted list of acceptable IDs.

I'm going to say LEOs don't have to because the laws are consistent, the laws don't get 'switched up' to keep criminals on their toes nor are any of it SSI.

It isn't 'in addition' to their duties if it is included in the 40 hour work week.

Didn't somebody just put up a video today wherein a screener was complaining about his employer changing the game so often that they can't keep up?

Considering the "quality" of see in the ilk TSA hires i would be surprised if it was 3 hours of training a quarter of bi-annual based on the amount of half assing and pulling of "laws" and "rules" out of thin air and posteriors.
