My grandma used to work as a TSA screener in Southern California, both before 9/11 (when they were ran by a private organization IIRC) and after. She would regularly have to go take classes because she would miss the dummy guns and grenades they would send through in bags. From what she told me, she was far from the only one who couldn't quite cut it, but she felt bad enough about the repeated failures she requested a transfer into one of the offices instead. The thing that always seemed the most alarming is that they acted like TSA was this new, more secure way to handle security, yet, at least at the airport my grandma worked at, they just moved the same people over to TSA, gave them new uniforms, a raise and then let business continue as usual.
