And I think that the traveling public is just, they're just not aware.
So each airport will be different.
I think it would be easier or best, Scott, if I explained to you from the top down.
So DHS heard from the president, we want ICE agents in airports.
DHS would reach out to TSA in Washington, say, hey,
hypothetically give us your top 10 airports or top 15 airports that have the most call-outs, the highest percentage of call-outs.
Then they say, okay, here's the airports.
They want to know what the airports are going to and what's the role going to be.
TSA hopefully told them, I know this is how it's supposed to work, tell the field leaders, the federal security directors in the field, you're getting five agents, Keith.
Deploy them as you see fit, or ten agents.
And then I meet with my team in that airport community and talk to them.
I'm getting ten agents that's reporting to work on Monday.
I highly recommend crowd control, crowd monitoring, and see if that support is there.
That's all I would need them for there.
However...
Could they do other things?
The short answer is yes, such as exit lanes would require a little bit of training, possibly some shadowing.
I'm not saying I would put them there, but because you're only going to free up one person.
Could they eventually be moved to the ticket document checker location where you hand your boarding pass and ID?
The answer is yes.
