The Transportation Security Administration is hiring more security screeners at Honolulu, Kona, Lihue and Pago Pago, after finalizing a list of staffing changes at airports nationwide.

What TSA described in its original announcement as "modest adjustments to a workforce that has already functioned for the last six months at the congressionally mandated cap of 45,000 full-time equivalents" created 53 new screening jobs in Hawaii, where no airport is losing positions.

"Items of consideration include forecasted air travel, hours of operation, baggage screening areas, checkpoint lanes, types of equipment and screener standard operating procedures," TSA said.

Details:

Honolulu International will gain 35 screeners, going from 613 to 648. Kona International will gain 15 screeners, going from 93 to 108. Kauai's Lihue International will gain 3 screeners, going from 78 to 81.
Maui's Kahului International will hold at 145 screeners, and Hilo International will hold at 51 screeners. Molokai Airport will keep its eight screeners. Lanai Airport will keep its one screener.
Saipan will hold at 50 positions. Guam will go down 19 positions, from 144 to 125. Pago Pago International in American Samoa will go up two positions from five to seven screeners.
