Multiple airports across the United States are refusing to air a controversial video from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, which blames Democrats for the government shutdown. Major airports including those in Michigan, Texas, Philadelphia, and California have opted not to play the video at TSA checkpoints, citing political motivations and policy concerns. Some officials have mentioned that airing such a video could violate the Federal Hatch Act. This decision has sparked discussions about the appropriateness of political content in public spaces, with several airports stating their commitment to remaining neutral during this contentious period.
