New TSA Epaulettes
FYI
I know it's not always easy to find a Supervisor or Lead at the checkpoints. Some FSD's have their leaders wear red ties, while others wear blue. Some don't even wear ties.
Now we have new epaulettes with a ranking system. All of the airports will eventually use them as the uniforms are shipped out. We started yesterday.
1 Stripe = Screener
2 Stripes = Lead
3 Stripes = Supervisor
Just in case you were interested...

Thanks for the 411!
I also have seen both the new epaulettes and some management in business attire. Are they the screening managers?

Wow you guys started last week with the stripe code?
We had them the first week of July at my airport.
Anyhow... also at our airport, the Terminal Manager can also be replaced with an "Acting Terminal Manager", whome most likely will be the highest senior Supervisor during that tour while the TM is on his RDO or Leave.
They can call themselves, TM's, Acting TM's or Supervisor.

Perhaps they should have gone to a system with more ranks, as they may need in the future:

Plus, the TSA could have gotten some used epaulettes cheaply here:
