So you’re saying that the TSA makes all its recruits aware that it’s an explicit part of the job? I doubt that the TSA is that effective.

I also haven’t seen a single TSA job description in prior years that has an explicit part of the job description saying that its applicants agree to work without timely pay in the event of a federal government shutdown. If you can show a pre-2017 shutdown TSA job description that makes this untimely pay explicit to recruits/applicants, I would like to see it because I’ve never seen it.
