What is this blacklist thats been mentioned on a few of these threads? TSA isn't on any blacklist. Crappy company, but a company isn't going to turn you down b/c you worked here. In fact, if you get through training at TSA, you'll probably be ok anywhere else, b/c they don't give a shizite whether you make it through or not. They do NOT train you to proficiency. They give you the allotted training, and you better be ready at the allotment, or you'll be done.
