U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary
Jeh Johnson has requested that Congress reallocate fiscal-year 2016 funds to
pay for Transportation Security Administration overtime as airport security
checkpoints lines lengthen. The funds will "allow TSA to expand the work
hours of screening officers in peak periods at high-volume airports," as
traveler volume is projected to grow this summer, Johnson said. He also
encouraged more corporations to "follow Microsoft's example" in
reimbursing TSA PreCheck enrollment to reduce airport security wait times.
