They had one ID & BP checker (why not have the airline agent do that? not like the agent is busy at the time!), a person who insisted on taking and loading one's items into the x-ray (I should have accused him of having nitro on his hands since he felt the need to remove my laptop from one bin and put it in another), a WTMD moat dragon, an x-ray operator, an ETD operator / bag search person, and a pat-down person. I didn't see a supervisor anywhere--probably off smoking a cigarette or on his cell phone (like the in-uniform screeners I saw outside the airport during the long breaks between those flights).
