Illinois congresswoman Cheri Bustos is also warning the sequester could impact air travel in and out of the Quad Cities.

More than 70 workers at Quad City International could be impacted, including T.S.A workers and air traffic controllers.
     
They could be forced to work one fewer day a week. Fewer workers could mean it would take longer to get through security, and could mean more flight delays.
