TSA: 'Stand up for security!' Union: 'We already stand for 8 hours.'
T.S.A. Agents Are Told to Get on Their Feet During Airport ID Checks
The Transportation Security Administration has instructed its officers to stand rather than sit while checking passenger IDs at airport document-check podiums. The agency called the change a "welcome" improvement; the union representing TSA officers publicly disagreed, framing it as a new physical demand on staff who spend full shifts on their feet. The directive applies to ID-verification positions at security checkpoints nationwide.
