sure, just enough for people there "right now". does anyone know how much the #'s vary from day to day, week to week?
I have no clue what the variance in workers are from day to day week to week-and honestly I don't mind there being workers on duty IF they are doing something.
My Thousands Standing Around comment was more directing towards my opinion on every work place not just TSA. Just like w/ my employees...I am paying you to do a job let's do it...don't stand around letting a bag go thru a scanner while you are talking to Mary Jane instead of doing your job
(stop talking to Mary Jane and answer your patient phone calls), lets get off of the cell phone
(lets get off of the cell phone), don't let the job of brininging back the gray bucket things lead you to somewhere you aren't stationed
.(come back from picking forms off of the printer instead of roaming the building)..etc etc... You get breaks & lunch for all that business.
And in reading this security section I am actually being nice...giving credit where credit deserves and pointing out IMO where I have seen it slack. But I do agree w/ the OP that in these days and times we could use more technology then it "appears" we are using.
