Hmmmmmm...
What happens in the sky?
This is a huge opportunity for airports to privatize screening security. Even now, not all airports use TSA.
And....how big is the GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES UNION war chest?
You know, the UNION that has the TSA employees’ best interest at heart?

Fire them, those who call in sick and mobilize the National Guard, like after 911 for temporary duty to fill the vacancies.
Just like Reagan did with the air controllers, replace them temporarily with military personnel.
I disagree. Nothing they do is essential. If they weren't there it all, I would continue to fly as I do now but without the hassle of getting to the airport early and having a few government goons check me out.

Th-th-then... Who will grope passengers and paw through their stuff? Will we have to do it to EACH OTHER?
I remember Argenbright, so I’d prefer the military do it.
I hope that they try it. The TSA at airports is an obscene waste of time and resources that is a nonsensical nightmare. They fail at whatever they are suppose to be accomplishing over 90% of the time even by standards they set for themselves. The employees should be thankful that this scam was able to be perpetrated on the American public for as long as it has. Anyone of them who fails to show up for work should be dealt with the same way President Reagan slapped down the air traffic controllers. Hopefully, this will somehow give the airlines and airports an opportunity to replace the entire screwed up fiasco with a competent system.
Let me be the first to say REEEALLLY??? I guess fact checking doesn't matter to the author, because I can recall air travel before 9/11/2001 and there was no tsa. My family also travelled cross country in a ...... omg!...CAR!
This whole article is a fake feelings are more important than facts , Its TSA propaganda.
Disband the TSA.
Lucy?
Since when do “we” ever count weekends and holidays as part of the working week?
If we’re going to start counting like that, the federal, state, county and city governments shut down each and every Friday afternoon and don’t reopen until Monday morning!
Dittos for holidays!
Some examples that even gub’ment employees can understand: how many days off do gub’ment employees get and do they work Saturdays and Sundays, normally - bingo!
So, subtract Christmas, New Year and extra days then and subtract Saturday’s, Sunday’s and yesterday’s MLK day and it does NOT add up to 30 (well, maybe by today’s publik skool math it does.)
The shutdown is the perfect opportunity to get rid of this government jobs program and return to using private security. Get rid of “ Thousands Standing Around”!
I'd be shocked if there are more than a dozen people in this country who give a rat's @ss about these TSA employees.
The TSA is generally regarded as a necessary nuisance. I would find it more believable that people would buy gift cards and food for the IRS employee who audited them last year.
Then watch liberals go into meltdown... liberals can't condemn illegals, they can't pity-party the TSA they can't attack Trump for what THEY believe in - it'll be cognitive dissonance everywhere.

Fire them all. Shut down TSA
Let the local airport authorities hire or deploy their own security.
It will get worked out quickly.
Agreed. America had commercial air travel for 85 years before the TSA
They are in no way essential.
