"People waiting in airport security lines will now be met with a new video of the Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem addressing the shutdown. It is TSA's top priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience as possible while we keep you safe, she says. However, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, many of our operations are impacted, and most of our TSA employees are working without pay."
"The Department of Homeland Security responded to CNN's questions about the video in a statement that noted the public service video is rolling out across the country, then repeated the language in the video almost verbatim. We will continue to do all that we can to avoid delays that will impact your travel, and our hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the importance of opening the government, the video concludes."
The Trump administration plans to roll out a video at airports nationwide that blames Democrats for lapses in Transportation Security Administration workers' pay caused by the government shutdown. The video features Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem addressing travelers and stating that TSA's top priority is to provide a pleasant and efficient airport experience while keeping passengers safe. The video asserts that Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, causing many operations to be impacted and most TSA employees to work without pay. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the public service video is rolling out and echoed its language. TSA checkpoints often include informational videos but rarely contain partisan messages.
