i mean a lot of screeners, you know, we're trying to actually do a job, professionally, but you alsoin your mind that it's hard to do your job when you're stressing and trying to understand that you're not getting paid, you're not getting bills, constantly on your mind but you're trying to maintain a standard and do your job professionally. and a lot of organizations actually reached out to us. saint vincent depaul, an organization like that, delta airline, those guy, southwest airlines,s they was great, they did a lot of things to actually try to make it easier for us, like providing meals and providing light bills and stuff like that, paying light bills and stuff like that. but it was stressful, i have to go apply for food stamps. and these are prideful people. and it is a shame the federal government has you in a position to suck your up pride and decide whether or not you are going to ask for federal assistance or state assistance that you don't feel you should have to do that. that's why you work. you work to avoid doing things like that. >> you work in a job that is in service

it's a massive threat as far as the congestion being created by the crowds due to the lack of screener. >> neil: because we had sick-outs in miami international, i don't know the sage degree in atlanta, where workers were not getting paid, few and far between, i should stress. it's hardly the norm. the fewer the show up, the longter lines. i'm wondering the long they are plays out the more dramatic the security. what do you do if you're a traveler? >> you delay your travels unless it's obviously a trip that needs to be taken. if it's a business trip or emergency or something preplanned for a while, i'd stay off the planes. i wouldn't fly with that members. i don't know if lax is as bad as miami and texas or houston was in those shots. but you know, travelling is a nightmare in general right now. the fact that we have additional security in the last ten years has been annoying. but now with these bundles of lines and the fact that we're losing an 8/10 or 1/4 of screeners -- i've always pushed behavioral profiling or looking to and this over to the fib and get this behavioral screening i

and then there's the tsa and the screeners and insuring anyone or anything getting into the plane is says that the people are calling out at double the usual rate. they say that 7 1/2% of workers didn't show up yesterday. according to them, those work rers caworkers are calling out because of financial limitations, and it is reported that the airport screeners are turning in the resignations or as they are returning to the jobs, they are living in their cars. it is true. one of them that you can see there on the screen, is living in a parking lot, because he cannot afford gas for the daily commute. and that is where we are. and let's discuss it now. jim marenetti with the air traffic controllers, are we safe? >> thank you, don. safety is degrading the longer that this shutdown takes place. the government has intentionally harmed the civil servants who are responsible for keeping the sky safe. >> how is that degrading? they have caused a crisis that did not occur a month ago, and the safety specialist, and the quality assurance, and the technicians that used to be there to support the
