    Atlanta today:

    LGA was a nightmare on Friday. Curiously, I went through Tuesday and it was one of my fastest ever experiences there - basically 0 wait for TSA recheck WITH touches entry.

    Friday Mayla and I head to Thailand out of JFK. She's not in TSA pro check yet. I hope something gives this week or we'll be arriving 4+ hours early.

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

      Supposedly tomorrow they'll be using ICE personnel to assist. I'm down with that. Of course before Mayla got her green card I would have canceled my trip first.

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

            I'm guessing they're actually not willing to do so and it'll be resolved in a couple days.

              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

                  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.”

                    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.
