Is TSA's Lack of Training a Root Cause of Outrage?
“Among the shortcomings that the inspector general found: TSA doesn’t have standard processes to use screener test results, such as “covert testing’’ where government officials try to smuggle weapons through checkpoints, to evaluate and update training programs. On-the-job training is lacking, and TSA doesn’t have uniform steps to “to ensure that officers have the tools and time necessary to complete training requirements,’’ the IG’s report said.
In addition, there aren’t standard procedures for allocating equipment, support and time needed to complete training requirements, either, the report found.”
TSA and DHS need to look into the root cause of the public outrage. Any analysis would point out the training failures. It is one significant reason why the public is expressing outrage at the new screening techniques. Politicians need to note that it isn’t just a question of public safety vs. personal liberty. TSA just isn’t doing a very good job. Those of us who travel to earn a living are seeing it each time we fly.
