How soon will TSA lines return to normal after the shutdown ends?

Airports across the U.S. faced long security lines as TSA officers missed paychecks due to a partial government shutdown. President Trump ordered Homeland Security to pay TSA workers immediately, with payments expected by March 30. This move aims to reduce delays caused by high call-out rates and resignations among TSA staff. The shutdown, the second in a year, has led to significant staff shortages and low morale, complicating TSA’s ability to recruit and retain workers. Travel experts predict that once TSA workers are paid, security lines could return to normal within two days to two weeks. However, the ongoing funding issues may have lasting effects on TSA operations and employee morale. QUESTION: How might repeated government shutdowns impact the future of public services like airport security?
