thanks for posting, hadn't seen that. I have worked with a police sergeant there who for years has organized food drives for airport workers around the holidays; my Lions club has participated with her several times and I would not be surprised to find out they end up doing something together. A very large number of airport workers make very close to minimum wage (not withstanding living wage clauses in concessions contracts) and frequently hold two jobs at the airports. The DC region is not one of those metropolitan areas where even a "living wage" affords the ability to save a month's worth of wages let alone a safety cushion of at least several months.....good on the TSA folks.
