While waiting this morning to get through security, I overheard a TSA agent saying they were undergoing a downsizing at that airport (BDL, which is a pretty small international airport in Connecticut) from 200 to 50 on staff. So there's one "anecdata" point that the footprint of the TSA may already be shrinking.
He also mentioned it was downsizing through attrition rather than layoffs, which is probably an easier strategy for elected and appointed officials to get behind.

- throwaway1979 14y agoDo you mean "more" expensive?
- tbrownaw 14y agoI read it as « It's faster and cheaper to use (other airport plus Amtrak) instead of flying in to BDL. »
