Is that really what they want to do?

Google says that to "expedite" means to make something happen more quickly I heard a newscaster this morning, in reference to the long lines at major airports, say that more security people are being hired "to expedite the problem."  Really?? Seems to me the problem is rolling along just fine on it's own. I think I would feel better if they were trying to expedite the solution. And I will really appreciate it if they can get it done before my trip in July.
