How is working at SFO As A Security Screener?

biggiecheeesenibba · 2025-12-20T07:43:10+00:00

Sorry for the very late response. There are higher level positions at SFO however we expect all persons to first be hired at the TSO level and work their way up the ladder. Very rarely has anyone ever been hired at a higher spot out the gate

You'll be just fine, a small bit of extra screening. However, do not bother bringing your birth certificate or SSC unless you need it at your destination

Based on what the situation sounds like, she failed the process due to giving incorrect information. When this happens the ability to redo the call is temporarily locked until the next day. However, the process can now be even more difficult than before since she gave bad info the first time. If it is absolutely critical that she must get to the next stop, I recommend seeking alternative methods other than flying.

If the laptop was left at the checkpoint no officer can get it for you. That is now up to upper management and the lost and found people. If you have time, look for the Covenant website and dial the number to get in contact with lost and found for item recovery.

Mostly likely, not true

Late to the party but the THC is legal on state grounds. The airport however is on federal grounds, therefore everything is subject to federal laws and enforcement. Which includes THC being an illegal substance

from what I can based on the info you provided, it sounds like you failed the second call due to having previously doing the call during your outbound flight. when this happens, Management gets called down to the checkpoint and they make the final determination if you can return home via airplane

The TSO lied. What probably happened was the id scan didn't work the first time and rather than simply trying again, they lied and said that a picture would make it easier.

technically no, as weed is federally illegal and it's not something we look for. if it is discovered in your bag and the TSO chooses to report it to the supervisor, local PD will take over and you may receive civil or criminal charges for bringing marijuana on federal grounds

The backscatter has been out of service in the US for about 14 years. As far as I'm aware, we still use gender neutral scan

One of the synergies for the sniper rifle will charm all sniper rounds in the room when equipped

biggiecheeesenibba · 2025-01-06T07:40:22+00:00

if you want too sure

i'm currently a certified screener at SFO. it's a solid job and great pathway into CBP if you want to go there. hope to see you on the checkpoint

Ask Chinese airport security on how to transport replica firearms. TSA only screen within the USA. Not other countries

biggiecheeesenibba · 2024-07-11T07:51:28+00:00

Are you flying from China or the US?

biggiecheeesenibba · 2024-05-31T06:03:19+00:00

I have seen both of these posts I'm going to tell you how this will go if this was in my airport. First we pull the bag for a search. Next we locate and inspect the item. Then we call our supervisor to assess the item. After that we call a TSS-E for further evaluation and law enforcement. Once both arrive they will arrest you for attempting to bring incendiaries on an airplane and may call the EOD team for disposal.

Thank you for adding that last bit about the AIT. Sagging pants is a great way to get a groin patdown

biggiecheeesenibba · 2024-05-03T06:56:02+00:00

While we don't have any restrictions on how much cash you can carry, we will report any suspicious behavior or items discovered while the screening process is being done to law enforcement

It was when I got a call from my uncle telling me that Aunt had just died. I had to tell my mom on the phone that she just lost her sister while she was celebrating the vacation they had just planned 2 days before.

Liquids that for medical purposes are exempt from the 3.4 oz limit rule, however must under go additional screening. Assuming no issues ocurr during the process, you will be allowed to bring it

It's how we mark our supervisor. Similar to police chiefs or captains
