Houston’s airports have been pummeled by the government shutdown with three- to four-hour security lines over the last few days — and the worst TSA absentee rates in the entire country. Hobby International Airport topped the leaderboard with a staggering 47% of its TSA workers calling out Saturday, while George Bush Intercontinental Airport saw about 42% of its security staff take the day off, according to CBS News. Meanwhile, New Orleans’ Louis Armstrong International Airport saw a 34% call out rate, Atlanta International lost 33%, and New York’s JFK also saw about 33% of its TSA staff stay home.
