At this point it is mostly open - they just aren’t paying the people they are recalling to work and of course they are making them work without support staff. Agency after agency has been asked to recall workers in response to pressure from lobbyists and in the interest of minimizinged  the pain to people who might vote. 
Agencies without powerful/ wealthy allies (EPA, Smithsonian, regulatory agencies) are likely to stay closed for as long as the shutdown continues. So for example, the IRS has recalled 46,000 workers to help process refunds but the workers who scrutinize dodgy returns are still furloughed

TSA is the weak link.  It's just not good enough of a job to keeping working for free and as they start dropping out, it's going to be really noticeable.  [/quote]

Recruiting blueshirts for the TSA was already hard enough. It is a federal job without federal benefits; the hours are not consistent in most US cities and the pay is ok, but not great. I am going to posit that if this isn't solved soon, there will be cities, particularly in rural areas, where the airports will be negatively impacted for some time.[/quote]

Ha, no. TSA is a great, secure job, particularly in rural areas. Those folks aren’t going anywhere. The government must remain shut until the Dems negotiate in good faith, whether that be one day, one week, one month, or one year![/quote]

ATL, DFW, JFK, IAD are not rural and TSA is not a great job.
