Same with the Customs and Immigration Services (the passport checkers) at SFO. I have seen lines going out to the walkway (leading into the big room). I can't even imagine traveling with a couple of little children; there's no restroom in that big hall.
By law, these people get full passenger manifests, arrival times, etc. before the flight even lands. They know, down to the passenger, everyone's status, nationality, etc.
AND STILL THEY ARE OFTEN SHORTHANDED!
This is the reception we give to visitors to the country. SMH...
- ISL 4y agoPerhaps they're trying to hire, but either the labor market is tight or they're not able to offer enough to get people to take the job. GP's desire to berate TSA agents, for example, suggests that job-satisfaction might not be real high.

- nradov 4y agoIt's tough to live near SFO on a Customs and Border Protection salary. I'm not surprised they have trouble with staffing.

- nradov 4y agoThe parent comment by @1024core was about passport control, not security screening. All passport checks at SFO are performed by government employees.
