In a controversial move, former President Donald Trump has reversed the telework policy implemented for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees. According to former TSA officials, this decision could significantly undermine aviation security. “This policy change will result in reduced personnel in the field and limit our ability to react to emerging threats,” warned a former TSA chief. The decision has been met with backlash from former officials who highlight the importance of telework in maintaining operational efficiency and security. This pivot comes amidst ongoing discussions about the balance between employee flexibility and national security obligations.
