TL;DR

Funding to pay TSA officers may arrive soon, but airport security lines aren’t expected to shrink immediately. About 61,000 TSA workers are unpaid during the shutdown, with reports of financial hardship and some missing shifts; even with back pay and DHS funding, staffing at checkpoints could take days to weeks to recover. Bipartisan bills to fund federal agencies during shutdowns haven’t moved forward, delaying a quick fix to the long security queues.
