I wasn't aware that the TSA employees (screeners in particular) were actually law officers.
I thought they were just on a security guard kind of level.

Furthermore, my thoughts on National Service are that there would be other alternatives for people to choose, other than military.
The TSA could be one of them, were they to qualify.
Emergency responders, Negotiators, and such would be necessary.
Heck, I'd even allow people to be child care professionals in a program run by the government.
I do think it would still be prudent to have some sort of light basic training though, to instill discipline and make sure people have proper life skills.
And if you drop out of high school, however many years early you drop out would be tacked onto your National Service.
I think Israel has a nice set-up.
They even have an alternative to the Defense Force.
