TSA employees have been working without pay during a partial shutdown of DHS over demands to reform immigration enforcement.
More than 400 Transportation Security Administration workers have quit since a partial government shutdown that began on Feb. 14 left them working without pay, the Department of Homeland Security said.
Funding was shut off to DHS over demands by Democrats for reforms at Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection following alleged abuses and the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis earlier this year.
There has also been a national callout rate of 10% at TSA on more than half the days of the last week, Lauren Bis, acting assistant secretary for public affairs at DHS, said Saturday in response to questions.
As someone who is flying soon I am considering handing whoever I deal with a 10 and apologize for the bullshit.
I am expected to tip on every other damn thing in my life so I have been cutting everything else out, might as well give somebody the ability to buy a sandwich today.
Most tsa officers are pieces of shit and assholes.
Better make it a 20, your avg sandwich costs about 13-18 dollars in the majority of the USA.
