I still don’t believe this agency should exist.  I have nothing against the employees themselves, and I understand the need for jobs.  But jobs without a purpose are no good.  I do find these articles and approaches interesting, because it will make it just that much harder to find people willing to take these jobs.  And eventually, if nobody’s willing to do the job, it’s going to resolve itself (… or they’ll start stealing even more of our money to pay higher wages; wouldn’t put that past a government that determined the TSA should exist in the first place).  I’d rather take my chances with terrorists than take my chances losing more freedoms to an already-too-large government.
