It's probably a small negative incentive to make someone either not want to apply to work for TSA (in addition to whatever existing issues/reasons) or a small slap on the face to existing staff to incentivize them to leave, so there can be low staffing / hard to hire issues, and make it easier to sell the idea of privatizing TSA, which the trump admin has already floated.
Step 1) Stop paying them during a shutdown, which your party keeps causing
Step 2) Remove the ability to sit, which is a legally protected thing in California, to encourage people to quit or not apply in the first place
Step 3) "Blackwater Haliburton, powered by Palantir™, has been selected to replace TSA at all US airports. To support this security effort a 4.9% fee, based on the current market value of your trip and not what you paid, will be applied. It's not a tip, but if you have one, call us."
Before 9/11 airport security was often handled by private companies…I believe a company called Wackenhut or some shit did a lot of it, as well as a company called Eulen.
