        And now TSA workers are calling in sick because they aren’t getting paid, so why should they work for free.

        My niece's husband is a guard. They're lucky that she makes good money & she works for the state vs. federal. They just bought a house & she's pretty much going to be shouldering the bills. I can't even imagine those families where the sole provider works for the feds.
