(16 Jan 2019) They are working stressful, crucial jobs without pay during a government shutdown with no end in sight.
But a bit of comfort is being provided to US Transportation Safety Administration workers in the form of donations from wellwishers.
Donors unloaded diapers, juice, garbage bags, canned soup and boxes of ramen noodles from their car trunks onto luggage carts at the valet drop-off curb at Orlando International Airport on Wednesday.
The airport will distribute the donations to TSA workers on Thursday.
"I just wanted to support the federal workers who are furloughed because of the inaction of our government leaders," said Brian Couch, sporting a Kansas City Chiefs ball cap as he dropped off his donation.
And it's not just in Orlando, the shutdown has generated an outpouring of generosity to TSA agents and other federal employees who are working without pay.
TSA workers are among the lowest paid federal employees, most making between $26,000 and $35,000 annually.
