WASHINGTON, March 25 (Reuters) – 周三，美国主要机场出现长龙，运输安全管理局（TSA）表示，自2月中旬政府部分停摆开始以来，机场安全人员辞职人数已激增至480多人。
运输安全管理局高级官员Ha McNeill向美国众议院委员会表示，这场迫使5万名TSA人员无薪工作的纠纷正导致严重紧张局势，以及该机构历史上最长的队伍。她重申，如果人员配置问题恶化，TSA可能被迫关闭小型机场。

周三，总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，他可能会向机场部署国民警卫队部队以满足安全需求。
参议院共和党人和民主党人继续辩论一项提案，该提案将允许为TSA和其他国土安全部机构恢复资金。
McNeill指出，2025年停摆期间，有1110名TSA人员辞职。
TSA正面临学校春假旅行高峰，客流量比去年高出约5%。最近几天，缺勤率飙升至10%以上，导致一些机场的乘客等待安检超过4小时。

McNeill说，一些TSA特工”在机场车里睡觉以节省油钱，卖血和血浆，并从事第二份和第三份工作来维持生计，同时在穿制服时仍需以最高标准履行职责，保护出行公众。”
McNeill对如果更多TSA工作人员辞职可能难以应对即将到来的世界杯期间的大量人流表示担忧。
民主党人在明尼阿波利斯的特工枪杀美国公民Renee Good和Alex Pretti后，扣留了国土安全部的资金，同时要求改变管理其移民行动的规则。共和党人拒绝了民主党提出的为TSA提供资金的提议，同时就移民和海关执法局（ICE）特工的运作改革进行谈判。
数百名美国移民特工和国土安全调查局特工于周一开始在14个美国机场部署，以协助安全检查，包括一些等待时间已超过3或4小时的机场。国土安全部周二表示，全国11.1%的TSA人员（即3160人）没有上班。
国土安全部的ICE和其他执法人员在停摆期间获得报酬。
国土安全部表示，周二，纽约、休斯顿、亚特兰大和新奥尔良的机场有超过30%的TSA工作人员缺勤。

WASHINGTON, March 25 (Reuters) – Long lines were reported at major airports on Wednesday as the Transportation Security Administration said the number of airport security officers quitting had jumped to more than 480 since the mid-February start of a partial government shutdown.
Ha McNeill, the senior official at the Transportation Security Administration, told a U.S. House committee that the dispute that has forced 50,000 TSA officers to work without pay was leading to major strains and the longest lines in the agency’s history. She reiterated that the TSA could be forced to close smaller airports if staffing issues worsened.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he could deploy National Guard troops to airports to address security needs.
Senate Republicans and Democrats continue to debate a proposal that would allow funding to resume for TSA and other Department of Homeland Security agencies.
McNeill noted that 1,110 TSA officers quit during the 2025 shutdown.
TSA is grappling with the school spring break travel surge and experiencing about 5% higher travel volume than last year. Absences have spiked to more than 10% in recent days, which has led to passengers waiting for more than four hours to get through security checkpoints at some airports.

McNeill said some TSA agents were “sleeping in their cars at airports to save gas money, selling their blood and plasma, and taking on second and third jobs to make ends meet, all while expected to perform at the highest level when in uniform to protect the traveling public.”
McNeill expressed concern that if more TSA workers quit it may be hard to handle the major traffic expected during the upcoming soccer World Cup.
Democrats have held up funding for DHS while demanding a change in rules governing its immigration operations, after agents in Minneapolis shot and killed U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Republicans have rejected Democratic proposals to fund TSA while negotiating over reforms for how Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents operate.
Hundreds of U.S. immigration agents and Homeland Security Investigations officers began deploying at 14 U.S. airports on Monday to aid security screening, including at some airports where wait times have topped three or four hours. DHS said on Tuesday 11.1% of TSA officers nationally, or 3,160, did not show up for work.
ICE and other law enforcement personnel at DHS are getting paid during the shutdown.
On Tuesday, more than 30% of TSA workers were absent at airports in New York, Houston, Atlanta and New Orleans, DHS said.
