Hundreds of TSA workers failed drug, alcohol tests at airports across U.S.
A KGW investigation found hundreds of Transportation Security Administration workers have failed drug and alcohol tests at airports around the country. Nationwide, 858 TSA workers tested positive for drugs or alcohol between 2010 and 2016, according to federal records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Screening passengers is important. Drug use makes those employees subject to blackmail. Don't make the opportunity for several synchronized and simultaneous jetliner explosive attacks easy. Americans shouldn't suffer these losers as paid employees. IMHO.
Let's test the house of reps and senators to see a comparison.
I find it ironic that the requirements for ICE agents, the people that guard our borders must have a college degree in one of the criminal sciences. They also must have law enforcement experience as a requirement to even apply for the job.
Yet, the DHS has no such requirement for personnel that guard our airports. Essentially doing the same thing as ICE agents. TSA agents should have the same pre employment requirements as ICE agents.

If the airport handles flights that cross country borders, it'd be an immigration loophole if TSA agents weren't held to the same standards as ICE agents.
Perhaps the do the same as ICE in this limited set of circumstances. I don't recall any stories of TSA agents involved in raids looking for deportees.
WE have heard of TSA employees "missing" loaded hand guns and even shuffling drugs and contraband thru the system as an extracurricular activity.. In Atlanta for sure.
