Airports across the country could be on the verge of shutting down as TSA agents continue mass callouts with the agency still shut down.
Wait times to pass security have already stretched to around two hours nationwide after TSA workers’ pay was stopped but now TSA’s acting deputy administrator, Adam Stahl, said that entire airports may come to a halt.
‘It’s not hyperbole to suggest that we may have to quite literally shut down airports, particularly smaller ones, if call-out rates go up,’ he said.

I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country
