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.
"This will definitely affect the flying public who we (are) sworn to protect," Hydrick Thomas, president of the national TSA employee union, told CNN.

Fire them all.
The UNION should call their buddies, the Dems, & tell them to get off their thumbs & fund the wall.
Reagan. Air traffic controllers. Good way to get rid of the thugs and move to more of a system like the Israelis use.
Mud be fake news. Why would they report it?
The Dems probably put them up to do it.
Reagan fired the bastiges.
Since they have a LOUSY record of catching anything at all, harassing children and the old, and also stealing stuff...it’ll be SAFER without them!
Yeah, but where are you going to find scab gropers on such short notice?
If only they ALL would call in sick.
Stand bye for endless tales of whoa dragged to the forefront by MSNBC & CNN to attempt to drum up support for a group of government employees that are over paid to start and dont do crap too boot.
No sympathy here, fail to plan, plan to fail .
Air travel today is incredibly safe.
Anyone who tries anything aboard a plane in flight
is going to be beaten to death by his fellow passengers.
Bummer.
Maybe the RATS could treat our borders the way they treat citizen travelers.
That speaks volumes to their character.
If you aren’t prepared to do your duty, then quit.
Trump’s version of Reagan’s air traffic controllers?
Congressmen in general have to go through screening to get to a from districts. POTUS, however, does not.
If they miss more than a few days, they need a doctor’s note? I don’t know what government rules are.
Could this be a bad thing?
This is 100% totally orchestrated between Democrat leaders in Congress and union officials.
In ‘95 Clinton conspired with union chiefs to make the shutdown look as bad as humanly possible.
I think we all know the drill by now.
And security and efficiency improved. Funny how that works.
