If TSA agents are not being paid, they should stay home and the airports and airlines can just shut down.
Blame the traitorous Demonicrats and RINOcrats in the Senate for the economic crisis, and vote them out in November, preferably as they sit in a cell awaiting their trials for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
Be pretty good judo to use this moment to get rid of TSA entirely (they are worthless and expensive), and, instead have airports responsible for security and government agencies responsible for inspection and certification (the security evaluation yielding insurability and impacting cost). security cost borne by economies benefiting from having the airport nearby, technology driven by market forces. Before you disregard, consider the genius tsa power wielder blowing out their pants seams and confiscating your nail clippers in the bag check line and ask (axe) yourself if this makes you safe.
