There isn't going to be any impact because of the sequester. If you know what the sequester is, then you'd know that no budget is being cut. For one, there is no federal budget and there hasn't been for nearly 4 years. Two, the sequester only cuts 2% of FUTURE increases to programs and agencies. If there are any FAA or TSA layoffs, closures or slowdowns, this is all political theatre caused by the administration. There is NOTHING to worry about. It will all be reversed overnight if Obama tries to pull a fast one by doing this on Friday as the public will scream bloody murder and he'll be blamed for it regardless if he's trying to blame Republicans. He's the one that initiated this entire sequester nonsense. Go do a search for "Bob Woodward" on Google news to inform yourselves about it.
