Like the TSA chunking things up at MDW on Thanksgiving.
Guessing it and spending for it are two different things. Infrastructure improvements (more machinery, more space required) and labor (it's not like they are ups and hire seasonal workers) come at a price. Remember the news reports at MDW during the Thanksgiving heavy days when they opened up in the AM? Not an excise, but knowing of a problem and being able to eliminate it completely given finite resources aren't always 100% in sync.
