"This welcome change reinforces both our security posture and our commitment to hospitality by having these officers on their feet and alert," a TSA spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News.

Spoken by someone who has never flown commercial. TSA aren't there to welcome you but if we're going to pretend that the bored look of monotony is "hospitality" then id rather be welcomed by someone who is able to sit if they need or want to.

Not to mention there already was a TSA shortage earlier this year so you're making the job even less tolerable. Whole thing looks and smells like shit
