> he government could hire 10x the number of agents to minimize lines without changing their budget by more than a rounding error, but they don’t care to.

Don't be ridiculous. At every airport and terminal??

And then how many extra people standing around doing nothing when it is a quiet period??

Roughly 10x as many as are standing around doing nothing now. Take a look at security from the raised view provided at Denver International. You’ll see at any given time roughly 1/2 the agents standing around chatting with one another.
