JOHN ROBERTS (CO-ANCHOR): Just about 12 hours after the Senate passed that bill to fund most of DHS, it looks like we could be headed for a trainwreck in the House. Because rather than just passing a version of the Senate bill funding TSA and getting out of town, there's a possibility that the House is not going to simply vote for the Senate bill and vote for a different bill. Chad Pergram is monitoring it all, he's on Capitol Hill.
Chad, this would be bad, because this would mean the TSA agents would not get paid.

ROBERTS: Chad, I can't believe that after it looked like we got this close to funding TSA, that Republicans in the House are going to pull the rug out from underneath this because you have people on these long lines in airports, you have these TSA agents who are experiencing such hardship, who thought there was a light at the end of the tunnel. How can these members in good conscience continue the shutdown?
