The Department of Homeland Security will tell Congress on Wednesday that a funding standoff that has forced 50,000 airport security officers to go without pay has ​caused delays at airports and is posing major security risks. Ha McNeill, the senior official at ‌the Transportation Security Administration, will tell a House committee that 460 TSA officers have quit since the start of the current funding dispute after 1,110 quit during the 2025 shutdown. TSA is grappling with the spring break travel surge and ​experiencing about 5% higher travel volume than last year.
