Sources said representatives for [Tyler] Perry worked through management, human resources and legal channels before returning to the airport to distribute the gift cards to TSA employees. However, the airport’s federal security director later raised concerns about the distribution
Gotta say, that’s really nice of Tyler Perry. Good for him. Fuck the airport admin.
There are pretty strict rules around what federal employees can accept as a gift. $20 is the limit for unsolicited gifts, so $1000 would of course breach that.
They should just take the money out of the employee's paychecks when they finally get around to paying them again. Considering how much backpay they owe them by this point it should easily cover $1000 each. Much as I hate the TSA and think it should be abolished as yet another failed Bush era policy forcing TSA employees to work without pay is horrible, and denying them even this meager amount of charity is even worse.
