Yesterday, about 3,000 workers did not report to work. But remember, many of those screeners have been working ungodly amounts of overtime. So it is understandable that they would be in that position. There's also been 480 of those TSA screeners that have left the agency. We've seen four and five hours of wait time for passengers at some of our major airports, especially New York, Chicago. (00:59–01:06)
