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.

That's a 6.2% increase in clerks, in one year, to handle a 1.5% increase in traffic. This doesn't account for the massive increases in the rest of the system.
Now they purport the world coming to an end because they might have to live without 2,600 of clerks (0.4%) that they want to hire this FY.
