美国运输安全管理局（TSA）推出新政策，禁止机场安检人员在检查旅客证件期间坐下1。TSA官员表示，这一举措旨在让工作人员"站立并保持警觉"1，并称"所有官员必须满足值班适应要求，以胜任其重要的国家安全职能，同时为旅客创造热情和专业的环境"1。
代表TSA员工的美国政府员工联合会理事会（AFGEC）对此提出强烈反对1。AFGEC指出，椅子作为"基本的人体工程学和安全支持"对长时间站立和在硬质地面行走的官员至关重要，并将这一政策称为"对员工权益和安全的忽视"1。
此前，TSA在2月至4月经历了76天的政府关闭期间，官员们曾在无薪状态下工作，直至特朗普下令在3月底支付其工资1。政府关闭最终在4月30日结束，美国众议院通过了国土安全部的资助法案1。
The Transportation Security Administration has implemented a new policy prohibiting airport security officers from sitting down while performing their duties, citing the need to maintain alertness during ID checks.1 TSA officials stated that the directive aims to keep officers "standing and remaining vigilant" and emphasized that "all officers must meet on-duty fitness requirements to fulfill their critical national security function while creating an enthusiastic and professional environment for travelers."1
The American Federation of Government Employees Council (AFGEC), which represents TSA workers, has strongly opposed the measure, characterizing it as a disregard for employee welfare and safety.1 The union argues that chairs serve as "essential ergonomic and safety support" for officers who spend extended periods on their feet and walking on hard surfaces.1
This policy announcement arrives amid recent workforce challenges, including a 76-day government shutdown between February and April during which TSA officers worked without pay.1 The Trump administration ordered salaries to be distributed by the end of March.1 The shutdown concluded on April 30 when the House passed a Department of Homeland Security funding bill.1 Additionally, AFGEC has expressed concerns about a separate Trump administration initiative to expand private security screening operations at three airports.1
