    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.

      Yesterday I flew out of Westchester Airport. Got there 3 hours ahead of time and had a 3 min TSA wait. Then sat there with 200 other people that got to the airport way early because of the hyped up news. On Friday my daughters fiancé few out of Newark with a 20 min wait. There are always unexpected TSA delays and maybe the shutdown is making things a bit worse but the news coverage on this is abysmal.

        Yeah, I spent 7 hours at Ft. Lauderdale last week for much the same reason. I could have been sat by the the pool in Miami Beach 😠

        I was only joking

          I have a 10am flight from JFK to Hong Kong on Friday (connecting on to Bangkok). I can only get there so early because Cathay Pacific doesn’t open their baggage check until 6. So we’ll get there a little before 6, check our bags, get in line for security at 6:15 or so and hope for the best.

          Mayla never qualified for Clear or PreCheck until she got her green card a couple months ago and we didn’t get it yet in the little time we’ve had. So it’s the long line for us.

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

            One thing I have going for me is that our local district spring break (what we planned this trip around) is a week earlier than NYCs. That should help a lot with the crowds.

                Ya'll have any routines on flights? Nap before wheels up? Movie? Work? I fly April 6 for my quarterly trip to DC for work, I normally have aspirations of watching a show or movie (MSP to DCA is a nice "movie flight", just over 2 hours) but I almost always put on some ASMR and fall asleep before wheels up. Maybe it's also because I'm a tired dad, lol.

                      I always try (and fail) to sleep, maybe I'll cat-nap if I'm really lucky. Generally I'll read and/or watch a movie. I never work.

                        I sleep and/or listen to podcasts. If it’s an overnight flight I’ll use some pharmacological assistance. Every once in a while I’ll watch a movie. Definitely so if it’s coast to coast or returning from Europe.

                          I leave tomorrow from the US. And yes, I will arrive way too early (just in case). But that is okay. I have a good book. LOL

                                Me either. Not sure if I'm jealous or judge-y of people who work. I think judge-y. I could actually work and get paid per hour, but there's something about the lure of falling asleep that is much more valuable!
