Summary

We issued our audit of TSA’s hiring and training of its aviation screeners. TSA has made tremendous strides by hiring and training passenger and checked-baggage screeners at the nation’s commercial airports, but it needs to take additional actions to ensure a world-class security workforce. TSA has already moved to correct several weaknesses, but there are four areas where it still needs to take action. TSA agreed to take corrective action and concurred with most of our findings and recommendations. This report contains sensitive security information and will not be publicly released.
