TSA Recruiting Full-Time, Part-Time Airport
Screeners
Looking for a job?
Aspiring screeners take note: The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) is accepting job applications for full-time
and part-time and full-time security screener jobs with federal
benefits in several airports across the country. TSA continues
recruiting full-time screeners at these airports: Phoenix Sky
Harbor International Airport, Phoenix (AZ); Logan International
Airport, Boston (Mass); Washington-Dulles International Airport,
Herndon (VA) Denver International Airport, Denver (CO) and several
locations throughout Florida.
TSA is also recruiting for part-time screeners at: McCarran
International Airport (LAS), Las Vegas (NV); Newark International
Airport, Newark, (NJ); Newport News/Williamsburg International
Airport, Newport News (VA) and Norfolk International Airport,
Norfolk (VA). Part-time security salaries will depend upon a
screener's work schedule. Hourly wages can range from $11.30 to
$16.96 depending on experience, plus locality pay. Part-time
security screeners also are eligible for federal benefits including
health insurance, life insurance, retirement, paid annual
(vacation) and sick leave.
"TSA is seeking men and women with various backgrounds and
experience who are looking to serve their community by helping
securing the nation's airports," said Rear Adm. David M. Stone,
Acting TSA Administrator. "TSA is an equal opportunity employer. We
encourage all interested parties, including women, minorities and
seniors, to apply."
TSA's job description
says transportation security screeners' duties include "providing
frontline security and protection of travelers, airports and
airplanes by identifying dangerous objects in baggage and on
passengers." The agency also claims that "recruitment of potential
candidates is the first step in the deployment of federal
screeners. Candidates are assessed, and if hired, are required to
successfully complete 40 hours of classroom instruction and 60
hours of on-the-job training." TSA says the entire process takes
several weeks.
If you're still really keen on getting the coveted job, then
make sure you meet the following minimum qualification
requirements:
- U.S. citizen or U.S. national.
- High school diploma, GED or equivalent, or 1 year of security
or aviation screening experience.
- English proficiency.
- Pass a background check.
