President Trump signs order to pay TSA employees, but airport chaos continues as call-outs reach nearly 12%

The Department of Homeland Security announced that TSA officers will finally be paid on Monday, thanks to an executive order from President Trump. This comes amidst a critical situation at airports, where thousands of TSA officers have called out of work due to the government shutdown, leading to painfully long security lines and national call-out rates reaching nearly 12%, with some major airports exceeding 40%.
