This resolution honors Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) and other TSA employees for continuing to work without pay during federal government shutdowns. The resolution specifically references the longest partial shutdown in U.S. history, which lasted from February through April 2026, and an earlier 43-day shutdown in late 2025. The resolution states that TSOs, who screen passengers and protect airports, were forced to work without compensation and many faced severe financial hardship, forcing some to miss work to take second jobs or leave the workforce entirely. The resolution does not provide funding or create new policy, but instead expresses the House's recognition of TSOs' sacrifices and commitment to ending the practice of withholding employee pay during shutdowns. This is a symbolic measure intended to acknowledge TSA employees' contributions to national security.
