Airport security is one of those things that most of us understand why it’s needed, but it still feels like a pain in the rear when we have to go through it. This, unfortunately, ends up distracting from the fact that it’s often a logistical miracle (in the US alone, millions per day) that so many people can be screened at once, so it might be edifying to learn how it actually works.
An ex-TSA worker went online to answer people’s questions about behind the scenes parts of working at an airport. We got in touch with them to learn more.
