A man went viral on X for saying what many people were likely thinking as they dealt with the current state of U.S. air travel.
Hours-long lines to get through security have developed at airports across the country because the Transportation Security Administration is part of the Department of Homeland Security. Due to the DHS shutdown, which began on Feb. 14, TSA officers have been expected to work without pay, leading many to call in sick or resign.
Democrats and Republicans in Congress have been battling over the issue for weeks to no avail. However, things may soon change because President Donald Trump announced on Thursday evening that he planned to issue an executive order declaring a national emergency, which would compel the DHS to issue those paychecks.
Earlier this week, Fox News reporter Brooke Taylor was at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas, interviewing travelers stuck in TSA lines.
“What’s your message to Congress that could put an end to all this?” she asked one random man.
