The funding for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) may be in the works soon, but it may not immediately restore long airport lines. Approximately 61,000 TSA employees are working without pay during the partial government shutdown, which began February 14. The Senate unanimously voted to fund most of the DHS, including TSA, but not Immigration and Customs Enforcement and part of Customs and Border Protection. Despite this, it may take days, if not weeks, for airport security checkpoints to return to full staffing levels, according to union leaders. TSA employees will miss their second full paycheck as soon as today after not receiving their first full paycheck in mid-March and only receiving a partial paycheck at the end of February. The agency expects over $1 billion in missing paychecks due to the shutdown. The long security checkpoint lines won't immediately eliminate.
