TSA Officers Quit Following Government Shutdown
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has lost 1,100 officers since a partial government shutdown began on February 14th. Democrats and Republicans continue to exchange blame regarding the impasse. Politico reports that 1,100 TSA officers have resigned since the government shutdown began on Valentine's Day. The funding lapse is impacting key agencies including the TSA. Analysts suggest the shortage may lead to increased airport security lines and difficulties in recruiting new personnel. The agency is facing strain as funding continues to diminish. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markway Mullen stated that funding used to pay Homeland Security employees is nearly exhausted. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called on Speaker Mike Johnson to bring up a Senate bill that passed unanimously weeks ago.
