Hundreds of TSA screeners, working without pay, calling out sick at major airports
Washington (CNN)Hundreds of Transportation Security Administration officers, who are required to work without paychecks through the partial government shutdown, have called out from work this week from at least four major airports, according to two senior agency officials and three TSA employee union officials. The mass call outs could inevitably mean air travel is less secure, especially as the shutdown enters its second week with no clear end to the political stalemate in sight.

Trump says the Mexicans are paying for the wall with the new trade deal. OK fine then take the wall money out of that and leave us taxpayers alone.It's not brain surgery. Everything that comes out of his mouth someone in his admin has to explain what he really meant.
Well when the government has it's hands in everything this is what you can get. Maybe those who vote for more government should not complain, be glad your doctor etc. is not employed by the gov. at least not yet.
Seems to me the airlines collect from us, their fare payers, fees for TSA services. Why don't the airlines simply remit that money to the TSA folks instead of sending it through the feds? Same for ATC services.
the comments here are extremely political and indicative of the times..thats ok to a point, but this flightaware site is not meant to be the Washington post,or the new York times or cnn or fox or any other media outlet in that vein..
Although I, and numerous others here, agree, however, the issue crosses over ... they can't be separated.
It should be Congress that goes without pay. Trump donates his salary anyway.
