US government shutdown continues, impacting travel and Coast Guard
A government shutdown continues to impact travel and the Coast Guard. Security lines at airports are long and the Coast Guard remains on duty without pay.
A government shutdown continues to cause disruption, with Democrats and travellers expressing frustration. Airport security lines are particularly affected, with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents working long hours, many without pay, due to missed paychecks, sick days, and resignations. Similar circumstances affect the Coast Guard, whose members continue to work without pay. The Coast Guard has received less attention than the TSA during the shutdown, despite its personnel remaining on duty. John Fetterman said he voted to end the shutdown.
