That's where things get messy, generally title 5 employees have to get their 30 days notice for furloughs... but... TSA likes to highlight that TSOs are exempt employees, so they may try to apply their policy:

So 3/1/13 will be like any other day.... it'll be 3/8/13 or April when the staffing would be affected.
