    Should never have happened. The governmental equivalent of a tantrum.

      I was in Miami last week on a work thing and we were all getting very worried, but I went through Fort Lauderdale in no time.

      I was only joking

        They are willing to put travelers through this to try to force their will. Shameful.

        Trump calls and raises them.

        Trump told NewsNation in a one-on-one phone call that he’s prepared to have ICE at airports for “as long as it takes.” He also says Democrats “want to make a deal” on DHS funding, but he doesn’t “think any deal should be made on this until they approve save America.”

        The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

          A bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security failed to advance Friday in the Senate amid growing concerns about long lines to get through screening at some of the country’s biggest airports.

          Democrats declined to provide the support needed to move the funding measure toward final passage. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he would offer an alternative measure Saturday to fund just the Transportation Security Administration, which screens passengers and luggage for hazardous items. That too is likely to fail as lawmakers hold a rare weekend session.

            The worst part about those lines, other than the waiting, is whether or not to go to the front of it to make sure it's the right line to be in.

              Who constitute this "they" that you have in mind?

                        In addition, one member of congress wants to make the change permanent.

                        The End Special Treatment for Congress at Airports Act would:

                        Require Members of Congress to undergo the same TSA screening procedures as all other airline passengers and prohibit the use of federal funds to provide them with expedited or preferential access at airport security checkpoints;
                        Bar Members from bypassing standard screening or receiving priority treatment based on their official status, while allowing them to continue participating in publicly available programs such as TSA PreCheck or other trusted traveler programs;
                        And maintain TSA’s ability to implement risk-based security programs available to the public.
