Fwiw folks the reason the govt has no money for TSA but DOES have money to send the Gestapo to airports is because, and stop me if you've heard this one before, the GOP One Big Beautiful Bill Act essentially severed the Gestapo's funding from the larger DHS funding and gave them their own 100+ billion dollar budget to build Trump a brownshirt army. This is exactly what those of us freaking out about ICE in that bill were talking about. The Gestapo is pre-funded with ZERO way to claw it back.
