DHS Shutdown? So What?

If you don't work for the department, I wouldn't panic.  Even if it does have to shut down tonight, it won't last long.  Congress will then take up some actually serious bill hashing to get it refunded.

Just maybe you want to postpone your trip by airline until it's all settled, because, who wants to be handled by TSA employees whose paycheck is being held up?  (Eighty-seven percent of DHS employees will still have to go to work in the event of a shutdown - "national security" exemption.)
Remember when the government shut down?  Me neither.  See what I mean?

Anyway, I'm not waiting up till midnight to find out what happens to DHS.

 ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
