Show Notes
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns of worsening airport disruptions as the partial government shutdown enters its thirty-fifth day. TSA officers, working without pay, face a second missed paycheck, putting extra pressure on security lines during spring break travel. High absence rates, particularly in major hubs like Atlanta and Houston, lead to long waits and potential backups. Travel groups, airlines, and hotel chains urge action, as last weekends absence spike caused major delays. Senate Republicans and Democrats negotiate to fund the TSA specifically, as three hundred sixty-six officers have quit during the shutdown. Airlines brace for a record one hundred seventy-one million spring travelers, with lines threatening to grow even longer.
