Episode notes
Shutdown Strains TSA And Threatens Small Airports
- The partial government shutdown is causing major TSA staffing shortages that create long airport security lines and risk small airport closures.
- Mosheh and Jill cite 10%–40% daily no-show rates, two missed paychecks for TSA, and warnings from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
Use PreCheck Or Touchless ID To Beat Lines
- Use TSA PreCheck, touchless ID, or Clear to avoid long security lines during the shutdown.
- Mosheh notes touchless ID via airline apps and Clear availability vary by airport but can dramatically shorten wait times.
Politics Behind Funding Deadlock Explained
- Political standoff centers on Democrats refusing to fund DHS without immigration policy changes and Republicans demanding full funding, prolonging the shutdown.
- Mosheh explains talks include offers like expanded body cams but no broad compromise yet.
