Do the Dimorats really think they're serving their constituents by playing cat-and-mouse with the budget? We've heard stories of TSA checkpoint lines lasting four and five hours, and the TSA guys aren't getting paid. It's embarassing and painfull and stupid, and the TSA guys are getting fed up. This is the third time since Trump came back that the Dems are hitting them where it hurts the most - in their wallets.
Hundreds of TSA officers have quit over the federal budget battle that left them working without pay – fueling hours-long flight delays and Department of Homeland Security videos blaming Dems for the travel nightmare.
More than 300 TSA officers have tossed in the towel since the shutdown began Feb. 14, while a slew of other workers have been taking unscheduled absences, CBS News reported, citing internal TSA statistics.
Hobby Airport in Houston saw 53% of its TSA officers call out March 8 and 47% the next day, while other airports have seen double-digit call-out averages since the shutdown started.

hell, even old Joe was shocked when the he stopped at a station outside of Pittsburg and got told "fuck Joe Biden" to his face. needless to say, he didn't stay long after that. funny, right ?
Nice rant and on point. But the truth is this: If you want to find out how people really feel about the
Deleteclowns in DC just look at the stats showing how many get re-elected over and over and over again.
Blame BOTH the Republicans and Democrats for the existence and persistence of the TSA.
ReplyDeleteI remember when they pitched the idea of federalizing airport screening. They told us it would be soooo much better than the minimum wage workers doing the job. Of course, the first thing the feds did was hire the existing minimum wage workers (that they said were terrible) and gave them qualified immunity and more pay. Geniuses.
DeleteI guarantee that if they won't pay me, I won't bother to come in. A rational head of the TSA would simply tell 100% of his people to stay home until their funding and pay has been restored. Let's see how long Congress wants to play that game.
ReplyDeleteBut why quit? You know you're going to get back pay.
