It happened after 9-11....and right before/after the Iraq war started...... No one seemed to have issues then.
If you don't think the Airports can afford it, then you are foolish. Most (if not all) Airports run in the black.
Hell, MCI Aviation Dept. was the only Dept for the City of KC that actually made money behind the Park and Rec Dept and they (sadly) are now running in the red every year......
It wouldn't cost much to do it and if done properly, you could rotate folks out and/or make it an OT duty at 4 hour whacks and no one have issues....
