One of Delta's main hub airports is making very clear what it thinks of Kristi Noem's TSA video about the government shutdown
"Detroit Metropolitan Airport has placed signs at the entrances to its security checkpoints, making clear that it doesn't approve of the video message. But because the areas are leased by the Transportation Security Administration, the airport operator isn't in charge of those screens. A bright yellow sign, with "attention" written in all caps, says, "The views expressed in this TSA-controlled video do not represent the views of the Wayne County Airport Authority." "The Wayne County Airport Authority does not engage in partisan politics," it adds."
"Detroit Metropolitan is the country's 20th busiest airport, handling 33 million passengers last year. It's also Delta Air Lines' second-largest hub and was ranked as travelers' second-favorite North American mega airport in J.D. Power's latest survey. Several major airports have expressed their opposition to Noem's video this week. In the message, Noem said TSA operations were impacted, and most of its employees were working without pay, because "Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government.""
Detroit Metropolitan Airport placed signs at TSA checkpoint entrances clarifying that the Wayne County Airport Authority does not endorse a TSA-controlled video and does not engage in partisan politics. The airport noted that TSA leases the checkpoint areas and controls the screens, and it asked the TSA to stop playing the video. Several major airports declined to play the video. In the video, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said TSA operations were affected and many employees were working without pay, blaming Democrats in Congress for refusing to fund the federal government and urging action to reopen the government.
