Keeping Flights Safe: Funding Air Traffic Control and TSA During Government Shutdowns.
This law ensures that essential aviation personnel, including air traffic controllers and airport security screeners (TSA), continue to be paid and operate during a federal government shutdown. This guarantees that the national airspace system remains safe and orderly, and security screenings at airports proceed without interruption.
