AIRPORT SECURITYShould We Relax?How Airport Security WorksPacking Tips From The TSA "We're gonna hire...about 10 percent of our workforce will be part-time. So it'll always be a mix of part-time and full-time," says Charles Lutz, TSA Security Director for OIA.

During the next couple of months, the TSA will select 150 qualified candidates and offer them part-time jobs. Lutz says the added positions will make security checkpoints more efficient.

"Obviously, our first priority is security, but we also try to balance that with good customer service," he says.

Part-timers will get the same benefits as full-time screeners and the job comes with a competitive salary. It pays anywhere between $23,000 and $35,000, which is not bad for a part-time job.

"There are certain basic qualifications. You must be an American citizen, 21 years or older, a high school diploma," says Lutz.

You must be able to speak English and pass a background check. Also, you must submit your job application by midnight Monday, December 29th.
