Well I mean that seems like an universal fact: that no one forces anyone to work their job against their will.

I think it's still very reasonable to sympathize with a large amount of workforce that has been basically demanded to be working without pay.

I mean how would FTers feel if they were told by their managers that they had to work but their pay would be suspended indefinitely....tough situation for everyone...the TSA workers, travelers, etc.

Not to mention TSA agents are probably as glamorized as IRS agents in terms of public respect/admiration...but they are much more publically viewable than the tax collectors.
