Washington Dulles International Airport had to close down one of its main security checkpoints due to a high volume of Transportation Security Administration workers who called out of work, just as many other airports across the country have had to do since the partial government shutdown began.
As some 800,000 essential federal workers on Friday went without paychecks and people across the country clamored for the government to reopen from its ongoing shutdown, a handful of bureaucrats were among those back at work approving drilling applications for the oil and gas sector – a move that some say is illegal and possibly even criminal.
