In reply to the discussion: Airports say they won't play Kristi Noem shutdown video at TSA checkpoints [View all]gfarber
(156 posts)36. Airports
At Sea-Tac, they made it quite clear,
No partisan vids will play here.
Though flights may be late,
They won't take the bait
They'd rather stay neutral than smear.
In Phoenix, they gave it a pass,
Noem's blame-game just wouldnt amass.
They said with a frown,
"Let's cool the shutdown
Our concourse won't echo that sass."
New Yorks Westchester wont play the tape,
Though travelers may need escape.
Too hot, they all said,
To pump through our thread
We're keeping things fair in this scape.
Now Portland, as cool as they come,
Said Politics? No, we want none.
They cited the laws,
And partisan flaws
And shut off the screen with aplomb.
In Buffalo, calm in the storm,
Theyve chosen to break from the norm.
No messages skewed,
No DHS feud
Just keeping the peace is their form.
TSA and Homeland stayed mum,
As questions from pressrooms did come.
No answers, no spin,
Just silence within
While airports said, We wont play dumb.

OP
The GOP, and the Trump regime in particular, are the totalitarian govt Republican voters have long feared.

It's a law, but not one with criminal penalties. So no one gets "locked up" for a Hatch Act violation.
