The TSA is covered by EEOC. Which means that they are not allowed to discriminate based upon race, religion, age, etc.
You may not get the job, depending on who applies, but they can't decline to hire you simply because you are white. There may be other reasons, but that won't be it.
They can decide to hire him because he is white. They cannot discriminate against color, unless the color is white. It says right in the EEOC statement.

please show me where it says "we will not discriminate on race - well, unless you're a whitey" in the EEOC statement.
Well, i said i was a 'minority' ....what i meant was..i have a GED, but I am white. Can I work with TSA if i'm physically able, pass mental/drug/computer test?
Of course! Many times it's minorities working for the TSA because quite simply the white guys want nothing to do with those jobs--they don't pay enough for the abuse that you'd have to put up with. I've seen a few idiot TSA workers, I've seen a LOT more idiot passengers.

Pay And Benefits
It is illegal for an employer to discriminate against an employee in the payment of wages or employee benefits on the bases of race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, or disability. Employee benefits include sick and vacation leave, insurance, access to overtime as well as overtime pay, and retirement programs. For example, an employer may pay Caucasian workers less than African-American workers because of their national origin, and men and women in the same workplace must be given equal pay for equal work.

Yes. That pesky political correctness. Those concepts such as freedom of religion, all men are created equal, and innocent until proven guilty.
It would be so much better to live in a totalitarian police state and discriminate against people because somebody didn't like their name/color/religion.
That is what makes me proud of this country.
</sarcasm>
um, those things have nothing to do with political correctness, what does being honest have to do with a "police state"?
this may come as a shock to you but many other countries have freedom of speech, of press, etc. we're not the only ones. and in those countries PC talk isn't nearly the rage it is here.
Wow, YaFace, you just misread that line and seriously changed the meaning of the entire passage. Careful there, you really gotta read that government crap carefully.
OK, I was just being silly, but seriously there are a lot of black people at gov't jobs, and don't tell me there aren't some shady hiring practices going on.

1.5 million apps for 47,000 jobs, surely many were white
an $8/hour job in all practicality for 32K/year with gov't benefits? there are plenty of white people who'd like that.
