US airport security absences decline slightly as shutdown continues

ReutersMar 18, 2026 6:50 PM

- Absences by Transportation Security Administration security officers at airports fell slightly on Tuesday to 9.9% as a partial government shutdown hit its 33rd day and long lines were reported at a number of major airports, the government said on Wednesday.

The funding standoff has forced 50,000 Transportation Security Administration airport security officers to work without pay for the last month, and since Sunday around 10% of them are failing to show for work daily.
