If you have traveled lately, you definitely know what is going on. If you watch the news, then you know what is going on as well. But for those who don’t know and you want SFL.media to tell you, there is a “partial” government shutdown going on, and it specifically is withholding funding for the Department of Homeland Security. And as a result, the TSA is being directly affected in a major way. Which means travelers are being affected in a major way.
What exactly is this shutdown? And is it tied into all of the Department of Homeland Security?
What did Delta Air Lines do? How are they tied into this?
At the time of this article, Delta Air Lines (the only airline showing some balls) is temporarily suspending its VIP airport services for members of Congress and Senators, like priority escorts and line-skipping. This comes as a result of growing delays caused by a funding stalemate at the TSA (the partial shutdown), leading to longer security waits.
Did any lawmakers have comments about what Delta is doing?
Several lawmakers have commented on Delta’s decision to suspend VIP airport services for Congress members. Senator John Cornyn introduced a bipartisan bill to eliminate these perks permanently, while Representative Nancy Mace supported Delta’s move, saying lawmakers should experience the same wait times as everyone else. The suspension, tied to TSA staffing shortages from the government shutdown, is currently temporary, but it could lead to a permanent change if Congress acts.
I gotta tell ya, I love this move by Delta. Why the hell aren’t more airlines doing this? It doesn’t take “balls” anymore. You are now just copy-catting and doing the right thing. Delta kicked the door open for you, other cowards. We all should salute Delta for giving this figurative “middle finger” to our precious, embarrassing, disgusting lawmakers. Now, hopefully, they can get things in order and fix what they have all messed up, and get this stuff funded.
