So, essentially, 745 TSA employees took a trip to New York, where they spent two weeks staffing a call center and walking around neighborhoods knocking on doors to sign people up for federal assistance. During this time, they lived on retired US Navy vessels, under the same conditions that US sailors live in for months at a time when at sea; they had hot showers, three squares a day, electricity, and mobile internet access; but they worked 10-14 hour days for those two weeks. Oh, and while they were having their meals in the galley and staying on the ships, they're also getting paid a per-diem.

But this trip to New York has been no vacation. Right...

It sounds more like summer camp.
