SECURITY OPERATIONS AT THE ALBUQUERQUE SUNPORT AREN’T SEEING ANY IMPACTS FROM THE PARTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. THAT’S THE WORD FROM SUNPORT MARKETING COORDINATOR STEPHANIE KITTS. SHE SAYS T-S-A AGENTS ARE SHOWING UP AND DOING THEIR JOBS DESPITE THE FACT THEY’RE NOT GETTING PAID RIGHT NOW.
KITTS SAY IT’S BEEN INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE PUBLIC HAS RESPONDED. SHE SAYS MANY OPENLY THANK THE TSA AGENTS WHILE OTHERS BRING THEM FOOD TO SHOW THEIR GRATITUDE FOR STAYING ON THE JOB.
SOME AIRPORTS NATIONWIDE HAVE HAD TO SCALE-BACK SECURITY CHECKPOINTS DUE TO A LACK OF PERSONNEL.
