Screening Screeners
More bad news about TSA screeners: USA Today reports that the agency has hired contractors to review the medical records of injured screeners to seek out evidence of fraud. This just doesn't sound good:
TSA employees had an injury rate last year four times as high as construction workers and seven times as high as miners. They missed nearly a quarter-million work days, which aggravated staffing shortages, caused them to miss training and violated a law requiring that luggage be screened with bomb-detection machines.
