Same as postal workers. With some of them, their goal of "success" is to get on light duty or disability.
It doesn’t take much time or effort to overhear them talking enthusiastically about their next break. They rotate through their posts more often than Vegas blackjack dealers for no apparent reason and even the most zealous TSA union member or sympathzer is unable to explain the ratio of those ‘working’ to those standing around doing naff all while on the clock.
The flier’s unlikely anti-TSA ally may be the airlines themselves. They sweat blood trying to optimize revenue per flight and to compete. Most people will rightly blame the TSA for the problems but the airlines have precious few seats available to make up for missed flights and therefore are taking their share of criticism which they no doubt regard as unfair. Their air crews hate the TSA as much as we do despite special screening lanes.
Economically, if the airlines decide that airport XYZ is a money loser due to the security farce, they will reduce flights. This will put pressure on the airport itself and the local transit authority who will see tax and fee revenue decrease. Perhaps government vs government, bureaucrat vs bureaucrat is the only hope of a breakthrough.
