Scott Becker was a member of the first class of recruits for the Transportation Security Administration in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. He joined in November, 2002, at O’Hare International Airport. Despite a lengthy career in business, he started his tenure with the TSA as a baggage screener. He was quickly promoted to Acting Supervisor, Supervisor, and eventually Manager. He has extensive public speaking experience and continues to work in the field of conflict mediation, which he learned during his tenure at the TSA. He currently lives in Chicago with his wife.
