I have asked screeners at our local airport & they do indeed have mid level clearances.

BHO could never get one of those.

Not screeners. Think of Barney Fife. Google "Security Sensitive Information" - the information they have is NOT "secret."

Not sure what mid-level clearance means, but this article does not indicate they have any "secret clearance", currently. Only a few higher-ups have secret clearance.TSA Officers to Receive Higher Security Clearance

“The Transportation Security Administration is upgrading security clearances for 10,000 of its airport personnel, giving them access to 'secret' intelligence to help them better detect threats and stop terrorists," reports CNN.............

The clearance of those additional TSA employees will take place over the next two years. Only 744 of front-line supervisors, managers, and behavior-detection officers now have the higher security clearance. The higher clearance does not and will not include airport screeners.

TSA spokeswoman Sterling Payne said the change will empower higher-ranking employees with accurate information about intelligence threats. The majority of TSA’s headquarter managers already have secret- or higher-level clearances for classified information and the agency sees this move as a “natural progression.”
