so they could find part time paid work during the partial shutdown. I’d surmise they are not essential and probably should not receive back pay when the Schumer/Pelosi shutdown is resolved and probably don’t need to be invited back to work. In any event, security screening should be paid for by the airlines.

- Regardless, they have been designated as essential. They should work for free? golfernot 9:19pm · 1/5/19
  - They aren’t working for free. They will be paid. CC72 4:44am · 1/6/19
    - You mean that they should work "months, even years" before being paid? golfernot 12:01pm · 1/6/19
      - That won’t happen, obviously CC72 12:36pm · 1/6/19

        Trump & GOP should propose paying TSA separately & let public see Dems refuse BaronVonZemo 12:39pm · 1/6/19
        
        Not a bad idea. He should also move Coast Guard from DHS to DOD and pay them tooNT CC72 1:17pm · 1/6/19
        
        DoD is not immune from shutdowns. They did escape this one however.NT golfernot 3:12pm · 1/6/19
