The upkeep on soldiers is almost certainly more than the upkeep on these minimum wage TSA contractors.

  TSA screeners are federal employees, not contractors, and they are paid considerably more than minimum wage (not to mention generous federal benefits and locality pay). http://www.tsa.gov/join/careers/pay_scales.shtm http://www.tsa.gov/join/careers/pay_scales.shtm

    For anyone wondering, the low end of the lowest range listed there is $1/hour above federal minimum wage, and roughly equal to the highest state minimum wages in the country.

      Perusing the jobs on that page, it's pretty clear that airport inspectors don't start at the lowest range.
