It depends on the airport.

At some airports, during the hours when all airport concessions are open, it can be 5-6 TSA employees working a single checkpoint lane of passengers at some given times.

For some airports' screening checkpoints with very large number of scanners for cabin baggage, maybe the number gets down to 2-3 TSA employees per lane, as part of a nominal form of economies of scale.
