@EricG1247 I find this deeply disturbing. Teachers should not be exploited for entertainment. Education needs proper funding so teachers don't have to scrounge for dollars, even if their purpose was to help their students.

The TSA must bring more agents to JFK. The lines are unacceptable with so many hours of waiting and too few agents. Passengers are missing flights or standing for hours. Without action from the TSA, the travel chaos could get worse during the Labor Day rush. TSA must act now.
