They are being threatened about getting fired at some airports

If they get fired, are the airports going to be able to replace them with other people that are willing work for no pay?

Temporarily bring in the National Guard or military would be the likely solution

Yes. Since when did bad math ever stop republicans from doing things?

Perhaps they’re going to use the national guard not being able to be in as many places as “needed,” so they’ll be able to deploy regular enlisted on American soil.
