Trump signs executive action to pay TSA employees after Congress fails to agree on DHS funding

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday signed a promised executive action that will pay Transportation Security Administration employees, after a deal that sought to do the same stalled in Congress.
Trump signed the action with an eye toward easing long security lines at many of nation’s top airports.
“America’s air travel system has reached its breaking point,” Trump said in the memo authorizing the payments.
