Without the paychecks, 100s of 1,000s of travelers stood in lines stretching outside terminals for hours

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGT ON, D.C. – Paychecks began flowing to many of the 59,000 heroic TSA Agents who have gone without for many weeks. Initial reports are that many agents have stopped calling in sick and are reporting for duty.
Great right? Not to Congressional Dems who care more about creating havoc than getting workers paid.
They are refusing to fund the Department of Homeland Security and say they will file a lawsuit to block President Trump from "illegally" paying TSA Agents.
Democrats want to stop the paychecks being issued to TSA workers because they want to hold travelers hostage and be inconvenienced so they can satisfy their base's demand that ICE and the Border Patrol be defunded or defanged.
Without the paychecks, hundreds of thousands of air travelers will be standing in lines that stretch outside terminals for hours and many will still miss their flights.
The only good thing that is coming from all this is that it's opened up a debate about why the United States is the only major country that relies on a government bureaucracy that is subject to Congress.
Private screening leads to better results as the chart below shows.
