Screener Injuries Down

The Transportation Security Administration has made a huge dent in the number of on-the-job injuries suffered by airport screeners, USA Today reports. The agency's injury rate in fiscal 2006 was 16 per 100 employees, down from 29 in 2005 and 36 in 2004. Of course, that's still a higher rate than almost anywhere else in government (or private industry, for that matter), but that's what happens when the job involves hoisting heavy luggage on a regular basis.
