11/17   the last five paragraphs of from this article:
        http://www.cnn.com/2002/TRAVEL/11/16/airport.security.ap
        __
        Ed Karabinus, 56, was a security manager at Shepard Air Force Base
        in Texas last winter when he traveled through Dallas-Fort Worth
        International Airport and encountered inefficient screeners who
        didn't speak English.

        He decided to become a screener himself. He took the test, and in
        March he was one of 61 people hired as supervisors.  Eight months
        later, he has been promoted to federal security director, a new
        category of federal law enforcement officer, overseeing both Wichita
        Falls Municipal Airport in Texas and nearby Lawton Municipal Airport
        in Oklahoma.

        Federal security directors earn between $108,400 and $150,000 a year.

        Karabinus, who now drives a used Mercedes, motivates his screeners
        by saying, "Look where I went, guys, in eight months."

        DAMN, where can I get a job like that?
        \_ There are always special people in all sorts of jobs doing really
           well.  They are the exceptions, not the rule.  The typical airport
           security jock is making $8.50/hr and will get a COLA in 2 years to
           $8.75/hr.
           \_ They are federal employees now making more than that. I don't
              know how much more, but more than $17k/yr certainly.
