INSIDE COMPLIANCE

The ongoing partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has caused widespread disruption for travelers. Wait times have been record breaking due to the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) staffing shortages. A new bill has been passed in the Senate to end special treatment for members of Congress who can currently bypass these long lines. While the legislation may ignore the root issue of long wait times for travelers and short staffing for TSA agents, it highlights the growing public demand for fairness and accountability in our nation’s government.
