Remove police tag; I feel it is not relevant

Could they work to reduce the wait times? Sure but the cost of air travel would be a lot higher. | |

| Aug 21, 2022 at 16:27 | comment | added | anon | @JoeW I think we are getting off topic. The question is not whether such measures would be sensible (on which it appears we disagree), but whether any country / political unit is considering them whether they are sensible or not. | |

How much more would you expect travelers to pay for flights if airports had to keep enough staff of hand to handle periods of high traffic? The people needed would still have to be paid during times of low traffic in order to have them on hand and ready for high periods and unexpected spikes. Also is it even possible to throw more people at it in order to make it go faster? Most airports I have been at the limitation seems to be more of how much space they have for checkpoints then the number of people running it. | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 15:41 | comment | added | anon | @JoeW - in my opinion, the airport implicitly or explicitly made a commitment that it would be able to process an appropriate number of passengers within a reasonable time when it accepted a contract for the flight with an airline. It is not unreasonable for it to be held to account of that commitment. So long as waiting times are under the 'reasonable time' threshold (lets say this is set to 1h), the average time is not important (i.e. if 99,9% of people get through security in under 1h, the fact that the average is 15 or 55 minutes is not important). | |
