8. Guarding the exit is usually a one or two person job in most airports I've been in

Depending on the size of the airport.

Huge airports have 4-5 terminals? Smaller airports have one terminal. So they’ll be relieving anywhere from 1-10 TSA agents on any given shift so they can go assist with screening instead of sitting and watching people leave.

That is not enough to break the current logjams. Not even close
