I was interested in what happens with air travel. Air Traffic Controllers and TSA have to work without pay, but they can screw the system by using sick leave. What that means based off past shut downs is pissed off TSA and longer lines at the gate entry. Maybe flight delays too.

I just flew on Saturday. Zero difference that I noticed. Remember, even when they get paid on time, TSA agents are nothing more than bureaucrats anyway. They work at their own pace regardless of the lines or crowds.

I can testify to this. I have seen all activity stop for about 10 mins and they walk off and bullshit amongst themselves. FL TSA goons especially.

Literally laughed out loud at that!

You should see the sub-Saharan Dindus at Newark or JFK.

Thanking the Lord above I have not had to go to either airport in years now but I can imagine. You could arrange a "shitting on your ass and fucking off when your supposed to be working" competition between the Jew York TSA and the FL TSA.
