On Tuesday I was flying out early, early AM and was half-asleep going through security. One of the TSOs elbowed another and said "hey, hey, look at Charie" and pointed to the lady at the exit check, hunched forward, sound asleep. They both snickered and then one of them went over to wake her up.
The funny thing is I don't care; if these guys' job was important, they wouldn't hire people with zero qualifications off pizza boxes.
BNA, my home airport, uses contractors for this critical function. They still have lots of uniformed TSO's standing around as well, just not any at the exit.
