Slowdowns at TSA search points delay travelers

[Meister]

To the airports to be TSA agents instead of ICE agents in the field.

ICE will still be in the field.

PASS A CLEAN TSA BILL Trump. Magats hate Americans. They Love Trump. They would rather the TSA agents not get paid and flight delays occur than to pass a clean TSA bill.

And every vote they can steal.

When was the last time that democrats offered a "clean Bill"?
The Bill is a reasonable Bill, what the democrats are demanding is nothing
more than a joke.

If it were reasonable it would pass. Enjoy long lines until Trump passes a TSA bill and not an ICE bill.

The ICE Bill has already been passed with the BBB.
Democrats do what they do best....theatrics.

Yep. It passed with Dem leadership support. This is the annual budget bill. That is not passing without ICE reforms.

Separately. TSA needs funding to pay its workers. Trump needs to pass a TSA bill. He can hammer ICE out on his own dime.

TSA has not been paid since 2/16/26.

If they cannot go a few weeks without a paycheck, there is something wrong with them.

Average pay is around 40,000 a year. Not a whole lot of leeway for saving.

I think this is the third time. The last one was more than a month.

This is BS. Just pass the budget item.

Those are not the low six-figure jobs most of the .gov office dwellers get.

Average TSA pay is 40-odd K. Try missing a paycheck or more while living in/around a major metro area.

The dems must hate black women as most of the ones working at Dulles are black women.

Pass the Bill

Agreed. Sorry, thats what I meant.

Really? For a federal job? That is bottom barrel, well below the national average. Maybe only about $600/week after taxes. No wonder they look none too happy. My grass cutter makes more than that.

$40K must be near federal minimum.

You do know one of the primary functions of TSA is checking ID's don't you?

What does TSA have to do with identifying aliens. TSA matches the photos on the ID to the flight roster, etc.

They share manifests with ICE.

Did you know TSA had to pay for parking to go to work? At least they did when my daughter was a TSO.imagine paying to go to work and not being paid!
