No one pays for this work. Give people an appropriate salary and benefits like TSA workers get, and there will be no problem.

Also, TSA worker is negative status.

Someone mentioned upthread this is a job for veterans because we won’t pay UBI or similar. It’s status enough, in some cases (“make work for veterans”.

I don't think so, only a small portion is veterans. It's just a cheap jobs program for work that isn't really hard work and doesn't require much skill other than showing up.
