Trump’s TSA pay order aims to ease security-line chaos, timing uncertain

President Trump signed an executive order directing DHS to pay TSA officers immediately to relieve long security lines during spring travel; officials say pay could come as soon as Monday, but relief depends on workers returning after weeks without pay, with nationwide staffing gaps and variable wait times, and travelers urged to arrive four hours early while monitoring official updates and noting that third‑party wait estimates may be unreliable during the shutdown.
