This video that is
linked here (apparently TSA IT thinks a video FAQ is easier to use than a text one

) contains Hawley all but admitting that there will not be gate screenings.
He really struggles though to give up on his precious gate gropes, saying "we will do a number of random inspections . . . including in the gate area," "but it will not be a regular practice."
So it's clear that Hawley and Chertoff are not promising the elimination of gate-side screenings; they are just saying the gate-side screenings will be less frequent than last week.
