TSA lines at Atlanta airport ease as backpay arrives

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport saw a period of calm Sunday with shorter security lines, though staffing shortages continue to impact operations. About 40% of TSA workers remain called out as the federal funding standoff enters another week. Also in Atlanta, filmmaker Tyler Perry stepped in to help, donating $250,000 in gift cards to Hartsfield-Jackson employees. TSA relief is expected Monday, March 30, when employees are scheduled to receive backpay following a recent executive order by President Trump. Travelers are still encouraged to arrive early as wait times remain unpredictable during the ongoing shutdown.
