- TSA employs approximately 1,500 agents in South Carolina who screen over 1.3 million checked bags daily nationwide and provide security for aviation, rail, highway, and port facilities
- The shutdown has caused TSA agents to work without full pay, leading to resignations and unscheduled absences that have created airport delays during winter storms and spring break travel
- CEOs of Delta, American, United, Southwest, and JetBlue sent a letter dated March 15, 2026, urging Congress to restore TSA funding and ensure federal aviation workers are paid during shutdowns
