I need you to redirect available funds to pay TSA agents immediately. These workers protect millions of travelers every day, yet they're among the lowest-paid federal employees. Many qualify for food assistance while screening our bags and keeping our airports secure. The money exists. We've found funding for countless other priorities, but the people who stand between us and potential threats are struggling to make rent. TSA agents earn roughly $30,000 to $50,000 annually in high-cost cities where that barely covers basic expenses. The turnover rate speaks for itself. This isn't about creating new programs or expanding budgets. Reallocate existing funds to bring TSA wages in line with other federal law enforcement positions. These agents deserve compensation that reflects the critical nature of their work and allows them to live with dignity in the cities they protect.
