Being a pickpocket is also difficult and anxiety-inducing, and I have a lot of sympathy for everyone for whom that is the only way to make ends meet. That doesn't mean I think theft should be legal.

In particular, if a TSA worker successfully finds another job to replace the income they can't get from the TSA, they should quit, rather than misrepresent their situation to later cash in on paid sick leave.

The problem as I understand it though is that they aren't allowed to quit in the current situation. So if they take a second job to make ends meet they would be forced into fraud (a crime) or admit they didn't work when legally required to (a crime)[1]. Of course maybe the work they are taking is under the table, which I didn't think of till now.

1: Note not a lawyer, and just assuming these would be criminal actions.
