A TSA Spokesperson Put Sunday's National Callout Rate at 10.19 Percent, the Highest the Agency Has Seen: Houston Callouts Topped 50 Percent Over the Weekend and 366 Officers Have Quit During the Shutdown
Transportation Security Administration officers have been calling out from work after going unpaid during the partial federal government shutdown. There was a national callout rate of 10.19% on Sunday, a TSA spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
That is the highest rate the agency has seen, the spokesperson said. The officers have gone unpaid for the third time in nearly six months, the report said.
Over the weekend, callouts spiked at major airports, with Houston reaching over 50%, while New Orleans and Atlanta airport callouts hit over 30%. The highest single-day airport callout rate reached 55% at Houston Hobby Airport on Friday.
In addition, 366 TSA officers have now quit during the shutdown. It takes four to six months to train and certify officers, creating a critical staffing gap, Fox News Digital was told by a source familiar with the matter.
On Tuesday, November 10, Hartsfield-Jackson airport in Atlanta cautioned travelers about delays in a post on X, and called out passengers for attempting to bypass lines. We are seeing increased congestion at the International Terminal Checkpoint caused by domestic travelers attempting to bypass lines in the Domestic Terminal, airport officials wrote, asking domestic travelers to use the domestic security checkpoints and noting that wait times at the international checkpoint were longer than those at the domestic terminal.
The United Kingdom updated its foreign travel advice for travel to the United States, citing travel disruption. Its advisory says there could be longer than usual queues at some US airports due to a partial US government shutdown, and advises travelers to check with their travel provider, departure airport or airline for the latest guidance.
Travel expert Clint Henderson of The Points Guy told Fox News Digital that TSA workers are going without pay, some are quitting, and others are having to pick up gig work to pay the bills, and that as the shutdown drags on, passengers can expect the situation to get worse, with mornings the worst times.
