LTC (Join to see) Democrats are against Border security. Build the wall any and it will save lives and money. EO if necessary.

I don’t think they are against border security. Currently they are for inviting a new class of citizen in our country. It’s all about the 2020 election SSgt (Join to see)

Great border security includes airport personnel, not just walls. Be glad that the missed gun was an accident by our citizen instead of a visitor flying in from overseas

Passenger gets gun through TSA checkpoint on Atlanta to Tokyo flight
The agency said in a statement that the security breach was not due to the partial government shutdown.

I'm gonna throw my BS flag.
There is only a fraction of the government not working, and about an equal faction working without pay. Only a fraction of those fly on Delta vs other airlines.
How does Delta quantify this? Lack of bookings at the government rate?
And where are the rest of the airlines on this subject?
I call bullshit.

LTC Eugene Chu - Calling in sick also should not be categorized as impact of government shutdown.

1. Atlanta's airport now has severe delays due to far longer lines from fewer personnel available for security processing
2. "Sick-outs" are considered a protest method by public employees who are usually forbidden to strike based on legal status
3. TSA officers are considered mission essential. They are supposed to technically report to work despite no pay due to partial government shut-down

Long security lines plague Hartsfield-Jackson amid federal shutdown
Travelers waited in security lines up to an hour and a half long on Monday amid the federal shutdown, with some missing flights as a result.

PO2 Robert M.
SSgt (Join to see) Remember, there was NOT a vote on that wall. This current POTUS made promises he cannot keep. Mr. Trump stated MEXICO was going to foot the bill during his campaign stomps. Why doesn't POTUS get the government working, THEN attempt his construction on the wall. Or, have the KOCH brothers pay for the wall! Or if every person who voted for Trump sent the Government $75, he would be able to build his wall. His shutting down the government is hurting a lot of people and businesses -
I wonder with the less airline traffic, there are less people staying in TRUMP HOTELS? (joke)

PO2 Robert M. - Yeah, but a lot of this is fancy. This would be a huge win. I could care less who gets a win. If he doesn't, then it is on him.

MSgt David Hoffman I have to agree to disagree. Isn't it interesting that Congress/Senate/Executive Branch are being paid? Don't see any "non-essential" personnel there (that is a JOKE).
If the government is not working - why should they get paid and exorbitant salary, with TONS of "perks"?????
