That will vary with the individual, but I've seen that same attitude from mall cops and the guys who direct parking traffic at the fair. Give a guy a flashlight, all of a sudden he's Elliot fucking Ness.

From what I hear the private security at airports have better training and less cost due to simple efficiency. The TSA employs the same amount of people 24/7/365, without any focus on peak/valley times... The private companies save because they watch this...
You get laid off from a job, and then rehired for the same job, for less money? No impact on attitude? Not buying it.

They would be paid less in the beginning, making them even worse insufferable bastards, then they would form a Union anyway, making them
almost impossible to fire insufferable bastards.

On your last point, I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if Homeland requires a certain number of personnel on hand at all times. Not that that makes any sense, but...
