That's interesting, I don't remember seeing a large number of private screeners per lane two years ago, there were more passengers back then, and there were very, very rarely any lines.

Yeah, and there was very little screening done either, except for guns and IED's. The prohibited item list was almost non-existent. Now before you start arguing over the prohibited item list, remember that it takes a LOT longer to scan for all the items on it than it did before. Of course you can argue all you want, but until you have actually worked a checkpoint, your opinion is just that, not a fact. So if you want to drop to 3 screeners per lane, you better have 6 police officers on hand to handle the FF's who will certainly go off over the situation.

Don't take life too seriously, afterall, you won't get out alive.
