Plan? Plan?
Why, we’ll build a new wall in every airport.
And make Mexico pay for it.

What security? TSA has been bullshit from Day 1. With any luck, the shutdown and mass absences will reveal TSA and most of the rest of “homeland security” as the authoritarian farces they have always been.

whether the agency had plans “to address mass call outs or resignations among its workforce,”

Can’t the general public follow the lead of DeVos and just use their private and corporate jets during the shut down?

With the White House (read: Trump) threatening to extend the shut down for months, what incentive is there for these employees to stay on the job without pay?? They can probably make their regular pay rate at McDonalds during the shutdown (I understand most TSA agents make around $30,000 per year) , thereby actually getting paid money for bills etc. Every time Trump opens his mouth, he adds to the problems

It would seem like the easy - and base-pleasing - solution would be to refuse boarding to all non-white persons.
