What Does a TSA Screener Do?
A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screener helps screen passengers and provide secure travel through public transit systems, railroads, highways, seaports and airports. She is required to follow government mandated guidelines designed to prevent dangerous articles from being taken on any means of transportation used by the public. This requires utilizing inspection techniques and operating simple surveillance equipment to screen people, cargo and baggage. The TSA screener is required to remain fastidious in her screening procedures, whether screening people, baggage or transport compartments, though discovering actual security threats is rare in this position. An ability to focus is very important to this position, as are thorough inspection procedures. She must strictly follow established inspection processes to best ensure the security of all passengers.
