I've applied to work for the TSA.

0019-Transportation Security Screener - SJC002

You will perform a variety of duties related to providing security and protection of air travelers, airports and aircraft. Specifically, you will be responsible for identifying dangerous objects in baggage, cargo and/or on passengers; and preventing those objects from being transported onto aircraft. You are required to perform various tasks such as: wanding, pat down searches, operation of x-ray machines, lifting of baggage (up to 70 pounds), and screening and ticket review using electronic and imaging equipment. As a Transportation Security Screener, you may perform passenger screening, baggage screening or both. You are expected to perform these duties in a courteous and professional manner.

So... let me know if they ask about vibrators during your interview...

God help you. Yipes. I think I would find this job difficult. I imagine the hours are weird and the pressure a bit high. Good luck!

Good luck! I'd look on the bright side: the more of the good guys working in that line, the less total idiots there'll be to foul up in entertaining (except for the victim) and embarrassing ways....

Goodluck! I'm sure you have more patience than I at some of the rude people who travel. there'd be WAY too many people with a wand handle protruding from one orafice or another.

Well...

... I'm doing work for DHS, so it's not like you're the only one of us working in that area.

Hmmm. Just in time to be privatized, most likely.

Good luck.

I'm not fond of the TSA, but bennies and a steady income for you are more important!

I'd rather have folks like *you* doing it than the sort of person who would use the job as an excuse to power trip.

Well...

P.S.: Ditto to all the other people who said that it'd be a good idea to have someone *with* a soul in those jobs.
