Might be as easy as activating the National Guard. Aren't those the folks we already see on patrol at Penn Station in New York City and at the Port Authority airports? Might entail a lot of hand searches and pat downs, but they'd surely get passengers moving if there were no TSA screeners. I wonder if some of them are already tasked to Super Bowl venues.
