causing missed flights and massive delays during peak travel.

This chaos is a direct result of Democrats and their refusal to fund DHS. These political stunts force patriotic TSA officers, who protect our skies from serious threats, to work without pay.

Democrats are shamelessly playing politics with national security, punishing hardworking TSA workers and their families.

The TSA falls under the subsuming auspices of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It has done a lot of work under the mission of protecting “the nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce.”
