Graph on page 14 shows between 2010 and 2011 the number of airline passengers grew from about 628,000,000 to about 638,000,000. At the same time, the number of FTE screeners grew from 45,000 to just under 48,000.

Seems there is a lot of overage that could be cut.

Yup, 48,000 FTE employees, to be exact. Part-time + "management" can all go too.
