The DHS shutdown has left TSA workers facing partial paychecks and potential missed pay, triggered agency “emergency measures,” and prompted warnings that growing travel delays and cancellations could force a political deal since TSA cannot be covered by prior transfer authority. At the same time DHS circulated a memo warning of possible Iran-linked cyber and lone‑wolf attacks amid an FBI probe into an Austin shooter with alleged Iran‑related imagery, CISA officials say furloughs will curtail broader vulnerability hunting, and senior officials and lawmakers across the aisle are urgently urging the shutdown be resolved as homeland‑security risks mount.
