The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening workforce that have successfully protected our nation’s airlines for over a decade of safe travel deserve the GS pay system. The SV pay plan that was created for TSA was poorly thought out and a complete failure. The various pay for performance schemes at TSA have done nothing but divide the screening workforce rand kill morale. TSA Officers are some of the most trained and tested employees in the Federal Government. TSA Officers have not only had to deal with years of mismanagement and deficient policies but also the backlash from the media and the general public. TSA is not a popular agency but a very necessary one to protect the Nation's transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce
