Will TSA consider RSSP locations when there are Transportation Security Officer shortages?

RSSP requests will only be reviewed and approved once the Federal Security Director at the impacted airport supports the request, which addresses staffing needs.  TSA will only approve RSSP locations for sites that do not impact or have unintended consequences at the primary passenger and baggage screening checkpoints.
