Airports say they won't play Kristi Noem shutdown video at TSA checkpoints [View all]

Source: Washington Post

Airports in Seattle, Phoenix and Westchester, New York, said they won’t display a video in which Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem blames Democrats for the government shutdown and related travel delays, citing the “political nature of its content.”

“We continue to urge bipartisan efforts to end the government shutdown and are working to find ways to support federal employees working without pay at SEA during the shutdown,” a Port of Seattle spokesperson said in an email Monday. Nor will airports in Portland, Oregon, and Buffalo, according to local news reports.

The Port of Portland, which operates Portland International Airport, told The Oregonian/OregonLive that the video could violate state and federal laws that prohibit the use of public assets and employees to disseminate partisan messages.

The Transportation Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security, which runs TSA, did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday morning.
