Acting deputy TSA administrator Adam Stahl says the situation will get worse the longer the agency and the Department of Homeland Security don't receive funding.
Estimated wait times at some of the country's major airports are up to two hours as more TSA officers call out sick during the partial government shutdown. Acting deputy TSA administrator Adam Stahl says the agency is concerned about the growing number of call-outs, saying "there could be scenarios where we may have to shut down airports. This is a serious situation."
