Well, this is potentially alarming.
Three TSA officers at San Jose International Airport in California have tested positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus and “all TSA employees they have come in contact with (them over the past 14 days are quarantined at home”:

So, how many passengers did they interact with?
The #TSA also doesn't have an estimated number of passengers they came into contact with. We are working to get details.

The TSA isn’t giving any answers, however:
The @TSA statement did not say what interactions the officers may have had with the general public.
Mineta San Jose @FlySJC officials also did not elaborate on the TSA officers' interactions with the public.

How about some answers, please? There’s obviously surveillance video of every single interaction they’ve had with passengers:
Need more specificity on what lanes they were working for the safety of everyone.

I agree, and the @TSA isn’t giving us that information.
