CHICAGO — A show of support Tuesday for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers losing pay due to the government shutdown.

Free meals will be provided to TSA agents at O'Hare International Airport in Terminal 2 starting at 1 p.m.

Meals will also be provided to TSA workers on Wednesday in
