"The curious moment came during Duffy's press conference at Reagan International Airport on Monday, when he announced $1 billion in funding for grant programs to make the experience better in airports. I want to expand the play areas for kids, Duffy said while flanked by Health and Human Services honcho Robert Kennedy Jr. I want additional nursing pods for nursing mothers. Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing, doing some pull-ups or some step-ups in the airport."
"The idea of an airport fitness center left the internet roiled, especially as it came from the guy who just last month pitched the notion that flight passengers dress better when they travel. his next project is bringing "dunk tanks" to airports so we can engage in some of that old-time carnival fun!

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy proposed adding workout areas, expanded play areas for children, and additional nursing pods to major airports while announcing $1 billion in grant funding. The proposal came during a press conference at Reagan International Airport alongside Health and Human Services official Robert Kennedy Jr. The fitness-area suggestion provoked widespread social media ridicule and mocking responses referencing prior comments about passengers dressing better. Several users posted sarcastic reactions and objections, including one fitness professional who said even trainers would not work out at airports. The idea generated debate about practicality and appropriate airport amenities.
