I am scheduled to take the TSO screener test.
Does anyone know what the test is like?
What should I prep on?
Hope you find your info bump
Answer all the politically correct questions as if you were a dem,that should get you the job.
You might as well just paint a bullseye on your head for posting this...
Multiple Guess Question 1:
Is the Federal Government:
a) god
b) somewhere in China
c) a tasty new breakfast cereal
d) a Constitutional Republic to serve the people
ANY answer but “d” will get you the job...

I just wonder what the TSO is. I’ve heard of the TSA, but I don’t know if they are related.
It is my understanding this disqualifies many Democrats.
Know your word meanings. How to spell. And be able to pick out things hidden behind other things in a photo.
And keep in mind that my advice isnt worth a dam because they have several tests they use. So you most likely will get a test completely opposite than the test I took.
Qualifications:
• Be a U.S. Citizen or U.S. National (For further information concerning U.S. citizenship, please visit http://www.uscis.gov/; AND
• Have a high school diploma, GED or equivalent; OR
• Have at least one year of full-time work experience in security work, aviation screener work, or X-ray technician work.
Possess the following job-related knowledge, skills, and abilities:
• English Proficiency (e.g., reading, writing, speaking, listening);
• Mental Abilities (e.g., visual observation, x-ray interpretation);
• Personal Characteristics and Skills (e.g., customer service, dependability, integrity); and
• Physical Abilities (e.g., repeatedly lifting and carrying baggage weighing up to 70 lbs, bending, reaching, stooping, squatting, standing, and walking)
In addition, all TSOs must meet job-related medical standards that will be assessed in a pre-employment medical evaluation. This evaluation considers relevant aspects of all body systems (e.g., cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, auditory, etc.). The medical standards include but are not limited to:
• Visual ability including two functioning eyes with:
* Distance vision correctable to 20/30 or better in the best eye and 20/100 or better in the worse eye;
* Near vision correctable to 20/40 or better binocular;
* Color perception (e.g., red, green, blue, yellow, orange, purple, brown, black, white, gray).
Note: color filters (e.g.,contact lenses) for enhancing color discrimination are prohibited;
• Hearing (corrected or uncorrected) as measured by audiometry cannot exceed: a) an average hearing loss of 25 decibels (ANSI) at 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000Hz in each ear, and b) single reading of 45 decibels at 4000 and 6000 Hz in each ear;
• Adequate joint mobility, dexterity and range of motion, strength, and stability to repeatedly lift and carry up to 70 pounds; and
• Blood pressure not to exceed 140 / 90.
Conditions of Employment: To be considered for initial employment, you must be able to:
• Pass a pre-employment drug screening test
• Pass a background investigation, including a criminal check and a credit check. NOTE: This is a non-critical sensitive National Security position that requires you to be fingerprinted, photographed, and complete appropriate security paperwork, including a SF-86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions. The pre-employment background investigation must be completed with favorable results prior to a final offer of employment and cannot be initiated until submission of a COMPLETED questionnaire.
If your credit check reveals any of the following, YOU WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS POSITION:
* Defaulted on $5,000 or more in debt (excluding certain circumstances of bankruptcy), or
* Owe any delinquent Federal or State taxes, or
* Owe any past due child support payments.
• Pass initial hiring and all training requirements including 56-72 hours of classroom training, 112-128 hours of on-the-job training, and initial certification testing.
NOTE: Initial training may require you to travel for up to two weeks on a full-time schedule.
I imagine the rest of it was like any other civil servant test for which you can get books out of the library to practice for it.
They might even have a book specifically for the TSO test at the library
C, B, D, A, A, B, C
Multiple Guess Question 2:
Please select ONLY America’s Founding Fathers (there is only one right answer):
a) Thomas Jefferson
b) Bill Clinton
c) George Washington
d) Alexander Hamilton
(Note to test administrator, if the person who answers this question even KNOWS who anyone but Bill Clinton is, they are part of a dangerous, radical, separatist group. Quietly turn their test into the Homeland Security office for careful scrutiny and monitoring).
For God's sake don't wear them, but show up holding them in your hand.
And you'll want some small plastic bottles in a 1 quart zip-lock bag.
Present them to the guard at the door who will throw them in the trash before letting you into the test.
Oh, and bring a nasty attitude. The TSA admires that in their screeners.
No search, CAIR might get upset.
Search and detain, could be clever disguise.
No need to confiscate, the electronics will not interfere with airplane systems.
Confiscate, make them wait for the drink cart.
What no groping, squeezing or goosing?
How the hell did you fail it? That was the easiest test I ever took and I aint been in any school for 40 years.
They said I dang near aced it. But will fail the medical exam as soon as they see my medical records.
