Interestingly, I haven't noticed anything in the news about exceptionally long lines or delays. TSA claimed they weren't sending checkpoint folks to the border, but what TSA says and what TSA does are not always the same.
VIPR teams are made up with FAM's for the most part. FAM's make a pretty nice salary plus 25% of their base pay in LEAP. FAM's should be flying not doing ground jobs.
