Well, based on what I saw tonight coming into IAD, I think 1.5-2.0 in 4 is pretty close (and remember, in horseshoes, close counts!)

Plus, a reduction in TSA force would actually speed things up since I wouldn't have to beat them off with a stick as I make my way out of the screening area (could they at least have the logic to step to the side when they are hitting on each other or chit-chatting on their cellphones?).

Although, I think airport Starbucks may be behind the overstaffing...their profits have to be up what with all the breaks these people take.
