US EditionWhy Several Michigan Airports Are Refusing to Play Kristi Noem Video During Government Shutdown
Several airports refuse to show Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s video blaming Democrats for the government shutdown amid ongoing TSA staffing and operational impacts.
- On Oct. 15, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport is not showing the video, and a reporter saw at least four screens near the TSA checkpoint with none playing it.
- On Oct. 9, the Department of Homeland Security began airing a video at TSA checkpoints featuring Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blaming `Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government` for operational impacts.
- Airports in multiple cities have refused to show the video, citing the Hatch Act and facility policies; Michigan airports including Lansing's Capital Region International Airport, Saginaw MBS International Airport, Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport, and Cherry Capital Airport are not airing it.
- With the shutdown entering its 15th day, Transportation Security Administration employees and air traffic controllers work without pay while the U.S. Travel Association warns the travel economy will lose $1 billion weekly.
- Airport Director James Canders said the video was posted on Oct. 9 as standard practice but paused on Oct. 14 pending TSA clarification after concerns arose.
