Federal Workers Now Required to Show ID Outside of Work Hours—Your Airport Security Wait Just Got Worse
If you’ve been stuck in a TSA line longer than your last vacation, blame a new rule that now forces thousands of federal employees—yes, the same folks who screen your bags at airport security—to show government IDs just to clock in. This means fewer screeners on duty during peak hours, as they waste precious time proving they are who they say they are outside of work. Your wallet is next in line: airlines will likely hike ticket prices to cover delays, and your morning commute could double if you’re flying out for a business trip. So, next time you’re fuming at a packed checkpoint, remember—this new paperwork pile-up is costing you real cash and time, not just your sanity.
