I think they should quit and I hope there are same pay alternatives for them.

It's reprehensible that Congress would allow workers to go unpaid and make citizens essentially pay twice for TSA services.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of TSA is just "security theater". I'm not convinced it does much.


Would you put your child on a plane with no security?

Congress should pay workers during shutdowns.

I don't know how important a role it is, when there's no consistency. Last time I flew across the country, at one airport I didn't have to take off my shoes. At the other airport coming home I did. Some airports have dogs, some don't. One time I had to throw out my packet of Justin's peanut butter, another time I didn't. All within the US. There's just zero consistency.

Instead of donating to TSA workers I think we should report them for car tax evasion 🤣

We don't even need them. I hope TSA is eliminated like USAID

Should we give them tips when going through security?

Folks are donating foods and items for TSA workers. Have DC area airports started collecting donations too?
