The company I'm employed with has an air division that operates at major airports and requires a TSA clearance for many positions. I have a deferred felony that is being dismissed this year and I am considering applying. The charge itself is aggravated assault. It literally says something like recklessly threatening injury as I didn't actually assault anyone. I got in a car wreck. I have read several reports of people actually injuring people and having their charges dropped to misdemeanors, yet this particular court is very unforgiving. I'm looking at my legal options in other states and at the federal level but am unable to get it modified at this time.
I have called the TSA and the UES but one told me to contact the other, basically. Neither could tell me and told me to just check the website. The UES website does not list assault, other than with the intent to kill, as a disqualifier at all. It's not listed under Hazmat or TWIC disqualifiers, either.
Is it safe to assume I can be accepted, even with a waiver? I am looking at moving to another state that gives certificates of rehabilitation in hopes that it will overshadow the charge in the eyes of the law. I got the charge in a very conservative area of the country that doesn't allow deferred dispositions to even be expunged fully, just sealed.
