It's no wonder we're ending up with drug rings and thefts out of TSA security points in our airports these days. The gov bureaucracy responsible for our safety on commercial airliners is so backlogged on doing background checks for new hires, they're just hiring them for now and will run their checks later.
Some workers screening travelers at one major airport may not have been fully screened themselves.
Facing a backlog of background checks, the Transportation Security Administration gave airport employers the ability to hire any workers needed at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport, according to a memo obtained by WSBTV Atlanta. The "regulatory relief" affects airports across the country, WSBTV Atlanta reports.
TSA officials said they ultimately resolved the backlog of background checks at the Atlanta airport, but made no mention of whether the situation had been fixed at other airports, according to WSBTV.
