If so, that could really cause a mess.

1. I'm sure it's not. They're considered part of the necessary personnel,
like border control, prison personnel, etc.

2. I, for one, would be happy to see TSA shut down and so,
I suspect, would many others. The most useless government agency out there.

6. Ditto.
It has never proved its effectiveness at anything other than finding medical appliances and prostheses.

3. I imagine they're considered "essential"
which means that, like our troops (!), they get to work for no pay instead of crappy pay.
