Mrs. Eagle and I have been on 3 cruises. Every passrnger tips the baggage handlers $1 per bag. There is no shortage of baggage handlers and they are quick and friendly. Watch how fast TSA employees return to work once they hear their fellow employees are making hundreds of dollars per hour. It's been 20 years since we've been on a cruise so people may tip more than that now.

When this is all settled, aren’t they going to get retro pay? I think they did the last time.
No, tipping security personnel is bribery.
between that and overtime…
Leave them at home and re-instate rules before this union crappola was created as a make work project.
TSA still fails most every Fed test on stopping bombs. It is security theater
Perhaps we’re dealing with an amount issue.
Below a value, get reported for bribery ($1).
Some higher value, don’t get reported for bribery.
Yes. But they have bills to pay. Plus, I’m just trying to shorten the lines. That seems to be the main focus of news reports.
Yup. All hands on deck pat down and colonoscopy.
I tried to explain it just a mistake due to fatigue. Nope.
Handing the TSA a buck or two could be hazardous.
Put congressional Democrats, their families, their employees and their employees families on the DO NOT FLY LIST!
Bribery!!!!! Ha haaaaaas! Omygosh! I expected to hear some stupid things but that one wins the thread already.
They aren’t on strike, and many of them are at work, they’re not getting paid because the parties are being idiots again and fighting over stupid crap and using TSA as the weapon. But they’re AT work.
Retro pay a month from now doesn’t help you buy groceries today.
If they can, call out sick is the appropriate tactic here.
Yeah. Sure, Jan.🙄
Most are democrats. And most are happy not to work. They always get more money when its over. If they work for a delayed paycheck its always larger. If they don’t work they still get paid. Its a win win unless they are at the end of their rope financially. But they always have plenty of warning.
U R very smart.
How about the airlines pay? its to support their businesses after all.
Congress needs to pass a law that requires the managing port authority pay the TSA employees and the feds reimburse the Port.
Of course thats only if one thinks that the federal government should provide this service, which I don’t.
No. That might work if it was their actual bosses doing the stupid stuff. But it’s the Senate. 8 layers of government BS removed. If there’s a mass “sick out” that just give the Senate more to yell “it’s your fault” “no it’s your fault”. TSA is just stuck in the middle, that song didn’t used to be political but it sure is now.
Really ? you must be new
