Show Notes
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns of potential small airport closures due to severe TSA staffing shortages caused by the ongoing partial government shutdown. Hundreds of TSA agents are calling out sick or quitting, leading to longer security lines and flight cancellations. Duffy notes that smaller airports are particularly vulnerable, as seen in a similar shutdown last fall that reduced flights by ten percent at major hubs. With no quick fix in sight, travelers should expect more delays at regional airports.
