US: Long airport security lines may soon return, TSA warns
Consumers may remember with dread how long airport security lines were this past spring. The problem got so bad that lawmakers greenlighted a TSA effort to hire more than 700 employees to get things moving at a reasonable pace. While the stagnation eventually subsided, TSA officials are concerned that the long lines may return in October. TSA chief Peter Neffenger stated that the agency may need to make job cuts if Congress isn’t able to come together on a new budget. The cuts would result from a larger govt shutdown that would occur Oct 1, the beginning of the 2017 fiscal year. TSA took big steps in the summer to reverse the bad conditions during the spring. However, Congress’ failure to create a cohesive budget would put the agency back in the position it was in during the spring. <br/>
