Show Notes
Major security delays hit Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport early Friday morning due to the partial government shutdowns impact on TSA staffing. Nationwide, airports faced disruptions as hundreds of TSA workers quit and thousands called out sick, leading to long lines and wait times. Passengers arrived as early as 3 a.m. for morning flights and faced nearly two-hour waits. Airport officials warned of continued backups through the weekend, despite some mid-morning travelers experiencing no delays. The Senate passed funding to cover TSA paychecks, but it avoids broader immigration issues, leaving potential checkpoints delays possible.
