TSA Hierarchy at checkpoints?

What are the official position titles and chain-of-command of TSA staff at a typical checkpoint and airport? The titles I've heard are Screener, Screening Supervisor, and Screening Manager, don't know if that's the pecking order too. Plus of course, FSD and deputy-FSD.

Are there others? Which ones are normally found at the checkpoint at any given time (i.e., part of the normal screening complement), as opposed to higher-ups that roam from one checkpoint to another or sit in offices somewhere within the airport.

NORMAL CHECKPOINTS will have the following present at all times...

Screeners, Leads, Supervisors.

The Mgr is not always there. Although he is nearby somewhere.

The other guys stay in their offices away from the terminals.

We can't discuss this here unless we are under the Cone of Silence...
