That theory about TSA approval being today just because it is the last day of Congress in session before going on vacation for a month makes absolutely no sense. Congress has nothing to do with the TSA other than oversight, and unless TSA were in the middle of some Congressional hearing and on the hot-seat (which they have been in the past but aren't currently), Congress going on vacation for the next month is not going to make the TSA grant approval today. Congress is the legislative branch, TSA is the executive branch, and Congress has nothing to do with day-to-day decision making at the TSA. Anyone who lives in the US understands the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches of the US Gov't.
My guess is if it doesn't happen today, tonight there will be a predictable rant at Bolduc and IMSC for not getting the job done, as if they have any influence over the process.
