Spiffs disdain and unfounded remarks aside, there are some airports that do have too many screeners. Nantucket for instance has 2 flights a week, yet has 26 full time screeners. Orlando/Sanford has one carrier and it is pulling out soon, has 40 screeners. Thats where the cuts will take place, the large airports will not see any reductions as most of them are understaffed due to the constant turn over of employees. I suspect that those in "temporary" positions will be the first given the ax, and those are mostly the prior screeners.
