Tyler Perry, a billionaire media mogul, donated $250,000 in gift cards to unpaid TSA workers at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport. His initial plan to distribute the money directly to officers was thwarted due to federal rules that prohibit on-duty TSA agents from accepting gifts. Instead, Perry provided Visa gift cards that could still offer significant relief to workers who have gone six weeks without pay. This gesture has been seen as a significant boost to morale among the agents. The Department of Homeland Security shutdown continues to continue, with security lines at Hartfield-Jackson Airport increasing significantly.
