Houston airport has become a symbol for the shutdown’s impacts on air travel - AP News
Overview
George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston has emerged as a visible example of how the partial Department of Homeland Security funding lapse is disrupting air travel, as TSA workers miss shifts and some go unpaid. The airport’s long security lines and strained operations mirror broader trends of rising unscheduled absences, missed paychecks and record wait times at other hubs. The situation has intensified pressure from airlines, community groups and lawmakers to restore funding and stabilize staffing before operations worsen further.
