TSA says 40 percent of workforce unvaccinated ahead of November deadline

A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) official said in an interview published on Wednesday that 40 percent of the TSA's workforce remains unvaccinated ahead of a Nov. 22 deadline set by the Biden administration.
Speaking to CNN, TSA Administrator David Pekoske said he was "very hopeful" that his agency's employees would meet the deadline, but said that "contingency plans" were in development in case some employees are unable to work who are not vaccinated in time.
"We have about 60% of our workforce has been vaccinated, that that number needs to go quite a bit higher over the next few weeks," Pekoske told CNN. "We are building contingency plans, for if we do have some staffing shortages as a result of this, but I hope to avoid that."
In a memo sent out earlier this month, the the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) said federal agencies could begin enforcing the vaccine mandate beginning on Nov. 9 for employees who are still not vaccinated.
"Employees who refuse to be vaccinated or provide proof of vaccination are subject to disciplinary measures, up to and including removal or termination from Federal service," OPM Director Kiran Ahuja said. "The only exception is for individuals who receive a legally required exception pursuant to established agency processes." LINK

I’m sure this will not have apocalyptic effects on the holiday travel season.

There will be a mess at airports around the holidays. They will all look around and say that this was not expected and it must be due to the weather.

Good. Let's shut it all down and bring the hurt so the sheeple wake up and start pushing back on the tyranny.

AKA, if these 40% hold the line, we have to change the mandate.
TSA is the one agency that government cannot afford to have short staffed, especially during the holidays. That is an assured way to piss off alot of people that don't care all that much right now.

Proudly rocking my "No Vax" star of
David facemask today downtown. I can feel the momentum turning in our favour, lads!
This one clearly Jewish lady buying $19.99/lb turkey cold cuts at Zupan's looked at me with utter contempt.
WTF pays that much for cold cuts?

The TSA must be well over 50% minorities.
This should be fun to watch.

New TSA Guidance - If you do not arrive at the airport more than 6 days before your flight you may not make it through terminal security for your flight (Flight cancellations will be posted inside the terminal only).

Why Brandon Will just order the vaccinated to work 24/7.
Problem Solved.

Stay strong patriots. It's about freedom and medical autonomy. Your actions in the next few weeks will have ramifications for generations to come.
Stay strong.

Between pilots, TSA and ATC I would not consider flying at all this Holiday season. It is going to be ugly if Xiden does not back down from his unreasonable and likely unlawful orders.

If you're one of the millions of illegals, you can take this job since they're not mandated to be Vaxxed.

This is how the administration seeks to fix the trucker shortage. Their goal is to piss off as many fliers via delays as possible then urge them to avoid flying to their destinations by becoming OTR drivers and just driving there (while coincidentally delivering goods).

Imagine waiting in line for TSA to screen you on a busy flight day
Then imagine a 40% drop in the number of TSA agents screening everyone
