It is a problem that has plagued TSA from the beginning. We change staffing levels 2 times a year for seasonal variations.
The airlines, baggage and ramp workers, fuelers, food service, and all of the other jobs around the airports seem to be able to manage these variations with the exception of TSA.

Why is that?
