In what has become regular order here in Washington, D.C. a storm is brewing over a set of mandatory spending cuts (the "sequester" as it's called) will go into law on March 1st unless Congress is able to come to a deal to avert or fix the problem. The sequester mandates a cut in spending across all government agencies and among those is the Department of Transportation who supervises air traffic controllers and the Department of Homeland Security who employs TSA workers.
A Huffington Post article out today indicates that if the cuts become law it could mean furloughs for air traffic controllers at least day every two weeks and cutbacks in airport security which could cause delays for travelers and airlines.
