Oh brother. TSA... what a bloated monster of an agency. This chart puts things in stark clarity. Of course we have all had the experience of dealing with the TSA agents at airports and it is patently obvious that their hiring standards are extremely low. Being allowed to use 1 year of work experience (what kind of work???) in lieu of a high school diploma is a joke. Not requiring a high school diploma is a joke. Getting a high school diploma is a joke so those without one should not be put into positions of power and security.

The TSA has only been successful in creating tens of thousands of jobs for people who would otherwise be flipping burgers or mopping floors. I didn't know the TSA's mandate was to serve as a provider of jobs to the shallow end of the gene pool.
