REPORT: TSA agent blamed security line delay on tax cuts while other agents were just 'standing around'

Kelly Maher reports from Denver that a TSA agent blamed tax cuts for the long delay at a security checkpoint today:

So @TSA agent is backed up and telling everyone it’s because of the tax cuts that it’s taking so long. Agents are standing around.

Well, with agents just “standing around,” we can get more tax cuts then for the same service?

There are four more people ahead of me, and he LITERALLY just said “this is what happens when you support tax cuts.” So not ok @TSA

Oh, you better believe she’s naming names:

Hey @TSA tell Officer Givens at DEN that politicking on the job while holding up a line is not acceptable.

— Kelly Maher (@okmaher) July 17, 2018

Over to you, TSA. What say you?

Fun time with your Washington Monument Syndrome this morning, @tsa. Sure fire way to get your agency more funding. Not.

We’ll keep you posted if there’s any response.
