Trying to apply, but I don’t think they actually want to hire anybody

So apparently the TSA is having a hiring event near me. They want applicants to RSVP. Before you do that, they want you to apply on their website. In order to apply you need to create an account, of course. The only passwords requirements they tell you is that is must be 12 characters long. That's it. Of course, if the website doesn't think it's strong enough, it won't let you use it. Once you finally get a password that works, you have to “secure your account” with a one time code texted to you.

Of course, after spending half an hour just getting the account made, you find out that the profile you created and the resume you uploaded are useless anyways, you have to manually fill out a resume with their in-site resume builder. If it's this much headache just to apply, how much more ridiculous are they going to be if you actually get hired? Applications shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes to fill out, from start to finish. I've spent more time than that just trying to get TO the application!
