Why does the US Govt. hire Part-Time workers?

TSA Recruiting Part-Time Screeners For 40 New Airports In Nine States


Okay. I am a little slow today.........you know the holiday and all........explain to me why they are hiring part time workers instead of full time ones.

From the article provided by the above link:

Part-time security salaries will depend upon a screener's work schedule. Hourly wages can range from $11.30 to $16.96 depending on experience, plus locality pay. Part-time security screeners also are eligible for federal benefits including health insurance, life insurance, retirement, paid annual (vacation) and sick leave. The amount of the premium paid for both health and life insurance and retirement as well as accrued annual (vacation) and sick leave are based upon the work schedule.
