"Lines that at times stretched to four hours at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport shrank to waits of 10 minutes or less on Monday. Weary travelers hope the overdue paychecks will end the seemingly endless security lines and missed flights many experienced."
"TSA workers told union leadership Monday that they received some, but not all, of their back pay. Some employees also reported incorrect backpay amounts, including missing overtime. None of my colleagues feel like they've been made whole, Jones said. Their finances are destroyed."
"President Donald Trump on Friday ordered the Department of Homeland Security to pay TSA officers immediately to ease the lines plaguing airports. Trump's order left other DHS employees unpaid."
Security lines at airports have significantly improved, with waits reduced to 10 minutes or less after TSA officers began receiving backpay for their work during the government shutdown. Previously, lines had stretched to four hours at major airports like Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Travelers are hopeful that the backpay will alleviate the issues of long security lines and missed flights. However, some TSA employees reported discrepancies in their backpay amounts, and President Trump ordered immediate payments to TSA officers while leaving other DHS employees unpaid.
