One question: Will the TSA be affected by a government shutdown?
Airport security checkpoints etc. will slow to a crawl. The TSA agents may be forced to show up, but they can’t be forced to work at their normal pace.
I remember this from 2019. It took about a month for the pilot/flight attendant/ATC unions to put ‘urge’ and end to the shutdown for safety concerns, this is part of their statement:
Due to the shutdown, air traffic controllers, transportation security officers, safety inspectors, air marshals, federal law enforcement officers, FBI agents, and many other critical workers have been working without pay for over a month. Staffing in our air traffic control facilities is already at a 30-year low and controllers are only able to maintain the system’s efficiency and capacity by working overtime, including 10-hour days and 6-day workweeks at many of our nation’s busiest facilities. source
I’m afraid I’m team TSA-is-pageantry. However, TSA should not go without pay regardless and ATC being stressed about finances concerns me.

“Stop the steal of your tax dollars!”
Notice something? They are not his tax dollars. Most likely because he personally does not really contribute to them.
This is gonna be awesome. /s
