"A now-removed Reddit post, from around 6 a.m. Tuesday, claimed the controversial video was playing at San Francisco International Airport. However, spokesperson Doug Yakel told SFGATE that the video is not playing at SFO and never has. "This video is not being played at SFO, consistent with our policy prohibiting any messaging of a political nature," SFO said on Threads. The Reddit post had more than 600 upvotes and almost 80 comments before moderators removed it for misinformation."
"The government shutdown does not impact Transportation Security Administration agents at SFO because they are employed by a private company. However, over 1,000 other government employees at the airport are working without pay. Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport has also refused to play the video, citing that TSA agents are considered essential employees and are reporting to work, OAK spokesperson Kaley Skantz told SFGATE in an email."
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem released a video blaming Democrats for slower airport travel times during the government shutdown. Major Bay Area airports refused to air the public service announcement, citing policies against political messaging. San Francisco International Airport stated the video was never played and pointed to a policy prohibiting political messaging. A Reddit post falsely claimed the video aired at SFO and was removed for misinformation. TSA agents at SFO are employed by a private company and are not affected by the shutdown, while over 1,000 other government employees at the airport are working without pay.
