TSA shift schedule at Chicago O'Hare International Airport
The hours, the tours and how the days off are decided for TSA officers at ORD — taken from the agency’s own airport fact sheet, not from a jobs board.
TSA publishes a fact sheet for every airport it screens, and it sets out the tours worked at that one. Here is what ORD publishes, and what it looks like in the app.
TSA's own airport fact sheet for O'Hare states one thing about the schedule that almost no other does: "No overnights and/or split shifts."
Sunday to Saturday, twice — the same order the calendar runs in.

The two days off in the month above are an example, and that is the point. O'HARE RULES TWO THINGS OUT, WHICH IS RARE. No overnight shifts and no split shifts - the split shift being the arrangement several other airports in this section do run, two work periods in one day with unpaid hours between. What O'Hare does NOT publish is the tour length or the days off, so the week is still unknown; it is simply a week without a night in it. You mark your own two days once and the year fills itself in.

Screening rosters are set by the airport, adjusted after they are issued, and the days off are bid. Why that is, in TSA’s own words.
