Security line now visible from space
What happened
TSA officers worked without pay during the DHS funding standoff as resignations, absences and spring-break traffic produced hours-long security lines at several major U.S. airports.
Why it matters
The dispute turned a budget fight in Washington into missed flights, lost pay and an operational-security problem for travelers and frontline workers nationwide.
