""It's insane," stranded Texas traveler Chip B, 66, said Sunday after spending 45 minutes on the pre-check line at LaGuardia Airport's packed Terminal B. "If this is about getting short-handed with TSA agents, c'mon, let's get them hired.""
""Get their s-t together," he snapped. That's what they need to do. "My big thing is TSA work isn't a great job in the first place. They're not getting paid while the politicians who are screwing up everything are getting paid.""
""I've never seen anything like it," Jared Everett, in New York on vacation with his wife, said the mess has already delayed his 4:30 p.m. flight to Charlotte by 40 minutes. "This has been pretty irresponsible of our lawmakers to put us in this position. We deserve better.""
The TSA funding crisis is causing significant delays at major airports, with travelers experiencing wait times of up to three hours. Many TSA agents are working without pay, leading to staffing shortages as some agents stay home or quit. The situation stems from a political dispute between GOP and Democrats over funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Passengers express frustration over the chaos, blaming lawmakers for the operational failures. President Trump plans to send ICE agents to airports to help alleviate the backlog.
