I rarely fly and in all sincerity John Juarez I think the TSA, as it is today, is way overblown. I would be fine with the TSA being scaled way, way back.

Well, a few years ago I flew to Seattle with my stun gun (taser) in my handbag! I'm so used to 'seeing it' there that it didn't dawn on me to remove it before flying. I wasn't stopped going either way with a full staff of TSA employees!

So, now, I'm not the least bit nervous!

We won't be flying any time soon but I'm surprised to hear that TSA employees are working elsewhere during the shutdown. 

I read an article today that anyone who works under Department of Homeland Security (which includes TSA) was prohibited from doing so.

Also read that those affected received paychecks on December 28th so the first missed paycheck was yesterday so do not understand why they called in sick and worked elsewhere.

Well lets see; I traveled with a pocket knife in my carry on for an entire summer (2010) before it was taken from me. I had forgotten it was in my briefcase, and TSA didn't spot it fort almost 9 flights across 3 months. 

I feel safe.

I have no plans, but if I did, I'd feel as safe or unsafe as usual. I read something yesterday (I think in AARP but I'm not sure where) that the TSA hasn't ever stopped a terrorist and the failure rate for testing (to see if they'd catch someone) is over 90%. I'll have to find the article again. 

That being said, if I was traveling soon, I'm sure I'd run into more delays than usual, and more cranky people than usual. I'm glad I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not planning on flying anywhere but I do have family that is. I think that there is risk involved in everything we do & that some risky activities increase your risk of death. I feel like the odds are high that people flying will be safe. Your chance of dying in a car accident is much greater.

I'm not worried and don't think it will affect flying much at all. I also had a little pocket knife in my computer backpack that I flew at least 6 times with (unknowingly) before they saw it on the screen and made me remove it.
