No, SFO is not playing politically charged shutdown video about TSA

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.

That'd be my last straw.
