Over 480 TSA Officers Resign Amid Partial Government Shutdown

Since the partial government shutdown began, more than 480 Transportation Security Administration staff have left their posts. The wave of departures has affected screening operations at several airports.

The acting TSA administrator warned on Wednesday that conditions at airports could deteriorate further. He said smaller airports may have to close “if we do not have enough officers.”
