Gotta have a lotta managers so the screeners will have a position to which they can be promoted. Recall that 6.5 years ago the proponents of federalization (pro-TSA types) arbitrarily decided that a dead-end, minimum wage job (airport screener) would henceforth be a rewarding, lifelong career with lots of advancement potential. Guess that advancement potential just means there's a lot of top-heavy brass among the airport screeners.

Just like I and others predicted over six years ago.
