TSA seizes drugs, guns and fake grenades — despite Dem-fueled funding freeze that’s kept workers on furlough

WASHINGTON — The Transportation Security Administration has seized guns, drugs and even a taser disguised as a smartphone to keep air travelers safe — all while dealing with a prolonged government shutdown. The political crisis in Congress has meant that TSA is operating with nearly half of its workforce furloughed due to Democrats’ opposition to funding the Department of Homeland Security. Upwards of 95% of TSA employees are still clocking in because they are deemed essential workers amid the funding freeze — and their role is vital given the thousands of threatening items flagged in the previous calendar year.
