国土安全部特工被部署至14个机场,TSA安检等待时间延长至6小时


2026年3月24日 / 美国东部时间上午9:33 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

特朗普政府周一将美国移民和海关执法局(ICE)及其他国土安全部特工部署到全美14个机场,以协助乘客通过拥挤的TSA安检口。在其中一个机场,安检队伍等待时间长达6小时。

由于部分政府停摆期间大规模人员缺勤,导致TSA人员无法获得薪水,这些特工正在一些地方填补TSA官员的空缺。

超过3400名TSA官员——占计划工作的TSA官员总数的近12%——在周日请病假,这是部分停摆开始以来人数最多的一次。

在严重的人员短缺情况下,一些旅客在休斯顿乔治·布什洲际机场经历了长达6小时的等待。那里的队伍蜿蜒至三层楼高,从地下室的地铁通道开始,经过行李提取区。

亚特兰大哈茨菲尔德-杰克逊国际机场的安检队伍一直延伸到航站楼外。

全国各地,一些旅客希望联邦特工能帮助缓解TSA安检瓶颈,但也有人表示怀疑,包括TSA官员兼工会代表帕斯夸尔·孔特雷拉斯。

“我不认为他们经过了能帮助我们的培训,”孔特雷拉斯说,“我看到他们在外面站着,不知道他们在做什么。”

特朗普总统已指示联邦特工在机场执勤时不要戴口罩。他还表示,如果无法达成结束停摆的协议,国民警卫队可能很快也会被派往机场。

周一,旨在结束停摆的参议院谈判遇到新障碍,此前特朗普呼吁共和党人坚持通过一项民主党强烈反对的选举法案——尽管一些关键参议员周一表示,资助国土安全部部分部门的协议仍有可能达成。

TSA wait times stretch up to 6 hours as ICE and other Homeland Security agents deployed to 14 airports

March 24, 2026 / 9:33 AM EDT / CBS News

The Trump administration deployed ICE and other Homeland Security agents to 14 of the nation’s airports on Monday to help shuttle passengers through overcrowded TSA checkpoints. In one airport, the security line wait-time was up to six hours.

The agents are filling in for TSA officers in some places due to mass call-outs during the partial government shutdown that is keeping the officers from receiving their paychecks.

More than 3,400 TSA officers — nearly 12% of all TSA officers who were scheduled to work — called out on Sunday, which is the most since the start of the partial shutdown.

Amid severe staffing shortages, some travelers navigating George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston dealt with six-hour wait times. Lines there snaked up three floors, starting in the basement’s subway corridor before passing through the baggage claim area.

Security lines at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport extended all the way outside the terminal.

Across the country, some travelers expressed hope that federal agents might help ease the TSA bottleneck, but others were skeptical, including TSA officer and union representative Pascual Contreras.

“I don’t believe that they’re trained in a way that they can help us,” Contreras said. “I’ve seen them outside standing around, I don’t know if they are doing anything.”

President Trump has told federal agents not to wear masks while operating in airports. He has also said they may soon be joined by National Guard troops if a deal to end the shutdown is not reached.

Senate talks aimed at ending it hit a new roadblock on Monday after Mr. Trump called on Republicans to hold out for passage of an elections bill that Democrats strongly oppose — though some key senators suggested Monday a deal to fund parts of the Department of Homeland Security is still possible.
