That's my thought -- the employees, however nice or sane or normal they may be -- are paid by the hour, not by the number of people they can process. There is no competition, so they can be as inefficient as they like, and nobody has any choice. If they only want to be open for a couple of hours on Saturday -- the one time when a majority of normal working Americans aren't working -- nobody has any choice but to line up at the appropriate time.
Private contractors? Not a bad idea. What if you could obtain the same services through contractors for a reasonable fee? How many of us would avoid the gov't services and pay a little extra for the contractors just on principle?
