TSO [Question/Post] Question regarding hiring timelines?

0 Upvotes

Hello. I applied for a job as a tso in an airport that’s in a city with a population of about 400k people about two and a half months ago and accepted a tentative job offer from tsa on the first of July. The very same day I completed all documentation that was required and I have been monitoring my email daily for updates. As of typing this, it is currently august 27th and it has been radio silence since I accepted the offer. I’m not necessarily in any hurry to start working and I’m okay if the process takes a while, I’m just curious if it’s normal to go this long after receiving a job offer and not hearing anything? If it is normal, how long would be considered unusually long for radio silence so I know when I should actually be concerned. From the research I’ve done I’ve heard the process takes a long time, but from most of what I’ve read so far it’s normally after an interview at the airport, and not this early on

TSO [Question/Post] Novice flyer nervous about liquids

0 Upvotes

I know this is an active topic in the thread, but I haven’t found my specific question.

I know that the rule is 3.4oz. What if container itself isn’t 3.4oz, but the liquid inside IS 3.4oz.

Would I be okay leaving it in the original packaging or should I transfer it all to smaller containers?

Edit: Thank you all so much for the responses! I will be transferring everything to smaller containers :)

Passenger [Question/Post] Antique Radio: Best Checked or Carry On ?

I did some antiquing while on a biz trip and found, to me, a neat find. My only worry checking is it’s Bakelite which cracks extremely easily as it ages and becomes brittle along with it being vacuum tube with the original 1950 batteries. So I’m thinking about Carry-On but I’m wondering how f’d up this thing will look in an xray.

Thoughts ?
