JOB SUMMARY:

We protect our transportation infrastructure from terrorist attack and ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce.

At TSA, we act swiftly and with integrity to:
  • Discover and stop emerging transportation security threats, utilizing state of the art technology
  • Educate and provide friendly customer service to travelers
  • Screen passengers and gather intelligence
  • Coordinate security involving aviation, rail, and other surface and maritime transportation
  • Oversee most transportation-related responsibilities of the federal government during a national emergency

Sad, it pays more than a starting pilot at one of the regionals
 
Keep in mind that TSIs are not TSOs (screeners) who make significantly less.

If anyone wants to look beyond the typical TSA rants and actually cares, TSI's are higher-level policy wonks and investigators.

These duties include:
  • Identifies and responds to security violations or potential violations.
  • Responds to transportation security incidents and other incidents as defined by the National Incident Management Systems or as directed by the Federal Security Director (FSD).
  • Assists in conducting comprehensive inspections of all parties, airports and aircraft operators and indirect air carriers, subject to federal regulations involving transportation security.
  • Assists in performing technical reviews, analyzes and makes appropriate recommendations concerning security measures promulgated through TSA approved security programs.
  • Assists in the performance of complex and technical inspections of all regulated parties to determine overall security posture and compliance.
  • Monitors compliance with applicable security policies, regulations, and agreements to identify potential problem areas or deviations from prescribed standards.
  • Provides assistance in ensuring overall adequacy, effectiveness, and efficiency of security posture and TSA-approved security programs.
  • Assists in planning and conducting outreach to encourage best security practices by regulated and non-regulated entities.
  • Participates in performing tests and audits, validates and inspects security processes, procedures, systems and equipment in connection with compliance inspections and vulnerability assessments.
  • Provides input to written analyses of inspections, assessments, and determines the adequacy of corrective measures required to improve security posture or to restore compliance.
  • Conducts civil investigations related to alleged or suspected security violations.
  • Identifies, collects, and preserves evidence used to support enforcement actions.
  • Assists in determining when enforcement action should be initiated, prepares enforcement investigation reports and recommends to TSA counsel the type of action and level of penalty commensurate with the nature and severity of the violation.
  • Provides testimony and participates in enforcement proceedings.
  • Enters data pertinent to investigations, inspections and incidents into the national database, Performance and Results Information System.
  • Assists in reviewing and analyzing assessment reports and testing results with specific attention to identifying unusual trends or actions which appear to have the potential for developing a security/safety problem.
  • Assists in formulating recommended or alternative courses of action to be pursued by regulated parties in order to satisfy security requirements.
  • Assists in the evaluation and the integration of new technology, traditional measures, and human factors to assure operational effectiveness and efficiency of the overall security system.
  • Assists in the development of circulars and letters of instruction to airports and air carriers.

You've got it all wrong... they aren't minimum wage paid. They are minimum intelligence required.
 
Limited to Chicago area commuters, no wonder the program is the effective and efficient bulwark of national security we enjoy today.
 
"Limited to Chicago area commuters,"......
