""Most officers cannot afford to live in Atlanta, so they're living an hour, sometimes an hour-and-a-half away from work and need to commute. That's probably why you may see a big difference in larger airports.""
""More than 450 TSA officers quit and thousands have called out sick from work because they are not able to afford gas, childcare, food, or rent.""
TSA officer callout rates vary significantly between airports, with major airports like Houston's Hobby experiencing rates as high as 40%. Factors such as daycare fees, gas prices, and housing costs contribute to these disparities. Many TSA officers cannot afford to live near their workplaces, leading to long commutes. The national average callout rate reached nearly 12%, with over 450 officers quitting due to financial strain. Staffing shortages are exacerbated by the deployment of untrained ICE officers to assist TSA operations.
