周二，休斯顿一家机场超过40%的运输安全管理局（TSA）工作人员请病假——这是美国三大机场中当天有超过三分之一员工请病假的机场之一。
由于政府因资金纠纷部分停摆，工作人员未获薪水，导致请假率飙升。
运输安全管理局的数据显示，在得克萨斯州威廉·P· Hobby机场，40.8%的TSA工作人员周二请病假；路易斯阿姆斯特朗新奥尔良国际机场近36%的TSA人员请病假；哈茨菲尔德-杰克逊亚特兰大国际机场则有超过34%的人员请病假。
“士气一天比一天差，因为没人知道这种情况何时会结束，”爱达荷州博伊西市运输安全管理局工会负责人兼首席工作人员卡梅伦·科切姆斯表示。
科切姆斯说，”人们排着队等待，因为政府无法履职，这正在毁掉人们的生活。”
由于TSA员工短缺，机场安检队伍排得很长。他们上周五就错过了第一笔全额薪水，此后该机构的非计划缺勤人数一直高于平均水平。
华盛顿方面的根本僵局仍未打破，导致运输安全管理局和国土安全部无法获得资金。
特朗普提名的国土安全部负责人马克韦恩·穆林参议员在周三的确认听证会上表示：”我们必须为国土安全部提供资金，我们必须这么做。朋友们，我们必须搁置党派分歧。”
在费城，旅客发现周三六个安检点中有三个关闭。在亚特兰大，旅客雷吉·蒙桑托称他提前五小时到达机场。
“这是一班45分钟的航班，”他说，”我们早上6点起床，为了赶2点的航班。”
运输安全管理局代理副局长亚当·斯塔尔告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，如果请假率上升，”可能会出现我们不得不关闭机场的情况。”
“这是一个严重的情况，”他说。

Over a third of TSA officers call out at 3 major U.S. airports in single day as funding standoff continues
March 19, 2026 / 9:37 AM EDT / CBS News
More than 40% of TSA officers called out of work on Tuesday at an airport in Houston – one of three major airports in the U.S. where over a third of workers called out that day.
The workers aren’t getting paid, leading to a spike in call-out rates, as a partial government shutdown over a funding dispute continues.
At William P. Hobby Airport in Texas, 40.8% of TSA workers called out on Tuesday. At Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, nearly 36% of TSA officers called out, while more than 34% called out at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, according to TSA data.
“The morale is getting worse by the day because no one knows when this is gonna end,” said Cameron Cochems, a union steward and lead TSA officer in Boise, Idaho.
Cochems said people are “waiting in line because the government can’t do their job, and it’s ruining people’s lives.”
Screening lines at airports are long because of the shortages of TSA employees. They missed their first full paycheck last Friday, and since then, the agency has seen a higher-than-average number of unscheduled absences.
An underlying stalemate in Washington isn’t budging, leaving TSA and the Department of Homeland Security without funding.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin, President Trump’s pick to lead the Homeland Security department, said at his confirmation hearing Wednesday, “we have to get DHS funded. We have to. My friends, we have to set the partisan side down.”
In Philadelphia, flyers found three of six TSA checkpoints closed on Wednesday. In Atlanta, one traveler, Reggy Monsanto, said he got to the airport with five hours to spare.
“It’s a 45 minute flight,” he said. “We got up at 6, to get on a flight at 2.”
Acting deputy TSA administrator Adam Stahl told CBS News that if the call-out rate climbs, “there could be scenarios where we may have to shut down airports.”
“This is a serious situation,” he said.
