Yes some airports will gain, but many will lose employees. Interesting, we don't hear much about that from TSAs critics...I wonder why?
If your cuts are anything like they did at IAD (without a nude a scope implementation), then it screws us, the flying public and shouldn't be lauded by anyone. The time to get through security have increased dramatically with a severe decrease in staffing/open lines.
