A4A Statement on Day 24 of DHS Shutdown
NEWS UPDATE |March 09, 2026
The following statement is attributable to A4A President and CEO Chris Sununu:
"More than 2.7 million people cleared through TSA yesterday, but too many had to wait in extraordinarily long-and painfully slow-lines at checkpoints. It's unacceptable to have wait times of 2 or 3 hours. And it's unacceptable that TSA officers will have $0 in their paychecks this week.
"It's day 24 of this shutdown, and it is past time for Congress to get to the table and reach an agreement that reopens DHS.
"Congress, do your job!"
