I saw this on the news yesterday; they have armed police in numbers consistent with other airports, but use these “rent-a-cop” types as well. It looks like it is just makework to hire minorities (based on those shown on the news segment); they weren’t very fit.

I did not see the news story, I read a CNN web story that said:
hicago (CNN)Hundreds of police officers at one of the country's busiest airports say in the case of an active shooter, they are instructed to run and hide. That's because these officers are unique among the nation's major airports: They don't carry guns.

It says the only armed officers there are from Chicago PD. Its is CNN though.
