Not sure multiple threads on this are useful. Also, best to remember that yesterday was the first pay period where the shutdown has actually affected income, e.g., DHS employees were not paid. That is likely to vastly change the equation going forward, particularly where the local economy has job demand.

when your mortgage is due, your kid is sick and needs meds, your credit card/electricity/insurance bills are due, getting paid at some undefined date in the future helps not at all.

Food trucks, restaurants and related small businesses that depend on furloughed workers to survive?

Racket? Excuse me, but this thread was about TSA workers. They are not furloughed AND not being paid. This is anything but a "paid vacation" for them!

I've been in SJC/ONT/SFO/OAK/PDX/SAN since the shutdown, and while I have CLEAR and PreCheck I can't say I've seen any difference, even today when I was in the "Fake-PreCheck Annex" of SAN T-1 (gates 1/1A/2).
