As more people travel by air, TSA holds recruitment event in Twin Cities

As we head into the summer, more people are traveling by air, and the Transportation Security Administration is looking to add new agents.

The TSA reports its three busiest days at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport since the start of the pandemic have all come in the past week.

More than 31,000 people went through checkpoints on Sunday.

Wednesday, the TSA will hold a recruiting event for new agents at 2001 Killebrew Drive in Bloomington from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Full and part-time positions start at $19.52 per hour. New hires are also eligible for a $1,000 sign-on bonus.
