The Orlando Sentinel Editorial Board has called for Congress to stop paying the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers who move passengers safely through airports and onto their flights. This comes amidst a budget standoff that has resulted in significant delays in flights and delays in re-booking flights. The average cost of a trip to Orlando during spring break starts at around $5,000, and in 2026, AAA ranked Orlando as the No. 1 spring break destination. The Department of Homeland Security stopped paying TSA agents last week, resulting in slow TSA lines and delays. The issue arose due to a lack of funding for the TSA and other Homeland Security offices while withholding funds from ICE. The board argues that this is a simple solution: Pay the men and women in place to make travel safer.
