A TSO can process X number of passengers per hour. If there's 5 Pax in line or 5000 the TSO still only processes X number of passengers per hour.
If I TSO is processing less than X then they're being underutilized anyway, no harm done. If TSO is already at X per hour and suddenly more people show up they're not likely to notice anyway. They're individual workload remains unchanged.
While queue times may increase it won't have they effect your looking for. Longer wait times simply justify additional FTE and PTE so long as management can document that the FTE and PTE they already have are not being misallocated.
This is documented by proving that the TSOs are processing X per hour like there suppose to be.
I have no idea what you just said, so I'm going to nod my head slowly and continue.
A friend of mine flew down to visit me for about a week last April for knob creek. He fired a few belts from the MG rental, then we went home, and the morning before he was supposed to fly out that afternoon, we went to a range and few a good amount of rounds down on target.
He boarded his plane at Lexington-Bluegrass airport, had a stop over in NC, and then finally arrived in Providence, RI. To top it off, he had worn full BDU Jungle camo, and black combat boots, the same outfit he wore when we went to knob creek, and to the range before he left; and yet he had no problems at all from TSA or LEO's, aside from the random cop saying it was illegal for him to wear camo jacket, camo pants, and combat boots together, and him brushing it off, since he didn't have any patches or military marking. Other then that, he wasn't pulled to the side and screened or anything.
I'm pretty sure if the GSR and the full camo outfit would have bothered the TSA, he would have missed a few flights and been dragged away, but he i reckon he was just lucky.
