PLEASE Call in "Sick"… PLEASE Shows how much Dedication these "Workers" have… They WILL Get a paycheck, it's called "Backpay" but they want to make a point… PLEASE Don't show up so you can be replaced!!! Help Drain the swamp, get rid of 90% of them… They treat travelers like criminals and are WORTHLESS POS"s. Time to "Drain that Swamp" Starting with the TSA.E !!!
So hoerible… democrats fault.. Nancy Pelosi… she's to blame.. Stupid.. They want security for the air..from stuff and people illegally coming from Mexico border…
They just implemented a new airport security policy. Walk through and cross your fingers.
The Democrats are doing just as much damage this isn't just solely Trump's fault at all.
TSA employees are generally very arrogant and uneducated. A TSA employee often goes on a power trip if any challenges their authority. There are lots of issues raised to the searches of done by TSA. The biased and pro government courts made illegal searches legal. I often wonder if the judge can read and understand English in the constitution. TSA is an embarrassment of the the United States.
Doesn't the law say that you can hire private personal to do the job?
FUND THE WALL!!!
Best president ever
When Donald Trump gets the wall bill the Democrats Need to go to the other side of the wall
Courtesy of the democrats.
Everyone bashing Trump (first of all, I agree with you, I hate Trump), BUT, we as Americans should honestly start to question the absurdity of "government shutdowns" as a concept in the first place. Why the f**k is this even a thing? It's completely stupid. Tell me another country that is vulnerable to this ridiculous phenomenon. Tell me another country that includes what most reasonable people would consider basic government functions as "arbitrarily shut-downable" parts of the budget at the whim of corrupt, opportunist politicians who get to use everyday citizens as bargaining chips in their own political games. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/01/22/why-other-countries-dont-have-government-shutdowns-2/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.9a70f43ac887
Everyone is talking about TSA lines but nobody is remembering that CBP isn't getting paid either and those lines are getting worse and worse resulting in less and less time to get through longer and longer TSA lines for those connecting from international flights
Who gives too shit about a wall pay them ppl they watch over our food
Give the money for the wall are keep it shut down for good
When trumps impeached and the government is opened again i will be proud of sweet justice
Impeach that idiot!!
The US will soon start looking like North Korea
It's because nobody is working for FREE!!!!! 😤
TSA workers not being paid>TSA workers need money>terrorists bribe employees> More drugs or terrorist attacke
Only 8% huh. I’d have assumed more like 50% weren’t willing to work for free
You people all sound like idiots. Checkpoints are still opened, it just takes a lot longer to get through one. Security at our airports is not compromised, the luxury of getting through them quickly is. I would rather have this than shitty security at our border. I do have compassion for the TSA families affected by this, but that is why we need the Democrats to respond with an agreement for the wall instead of pushing their own agenda to cripple our national security, and prolonging the non-payment of these TSA and other federal workers.
LET'S NOT FORGET THE PRESIDENTS GRANDMA WAS FROM THE SOVIET UNION…..HE AIN'T A PURE AMERICAN WITH THE LOVE FOR THE COUNTRY…HE PROMOTES HATEEEEEEEEEE LIKE A NAZI. AND WE DEFEEEEEAT THOSE DURING WORLD WAR.
TRUMP 2020.
Trump is the president we need. he keeps his promise
Those TSA agents signed up as public servants. They should be still be at work rather than refusing to do what they signed up for.
Has anyone notice that it said January 2018
For God's sake just once in your life realize not everything is gonna go your way Trump just accept it and quit risking the country and give these people the money they deserve
Why do those dumb democrats have to be so stubborn?
"that do do staffing issues" 😂😂😂😂
Trump sleep on his comfy room playing golf he don't care about ordinary people need to work to pay the bills and put food on the table.he is like a kid throw a tantrum because no one want to give him a lollipop
Bullshit lies
After about two months of the shutdown, reports will turn from shutdown to the “new normal”.
If enough TSA employees call in sick or if enough air traffic controllers call in sick it will force the closing of the airport which in turn will force the government into immediate negotiations and will have the country buzzing again in days.
If everyone goes and gets the flu shot many people are going to have flu-like symptoms if that make you feel any more comfortable calling in sick
Trumps brain shutdown a long time ago
Why do y’all think there is a government shut down? It’s because Trump can’t get the money to build the wall. Why can’t he? Because of the democrat side. 3 or 4 years ago, the dems wanted to spend 45 billion on border control, and Trump is only asking for 5 billion. Trump is not getting the money because the democrats do not want Trump to have the completion of the wall on his political “resume” per say. It’s all political
A family doesn’t put a wall around there house because they hate the people on the outside. It’s because they love the people on the inside and want to protect them… let that sink in
This is another reason why we need to downsize the government and have private companies do their job
This is why TSA should be a private company
Closed all the borders North and South keep the government shutdown how do you like that hahaha build the wall wall wall wall Trump 20/20 Trump forever
If I didn't get paid, I wouldn't go to work either! I don't blame them one bit.
