Missing your flight (Opinion)

Waiting in line

Missing your flight (Opinion)

It doesn't matter if you are at the airport before sunlight

Because you are still going to miss your flight.

From the outside looking in, this does not look fine

With people waiting for hours at the same spot in the line.

Not getting paid means there are less TSA workers on deck

People missing flights due to a pending security check

Looking like extras in that commercial from Geico.

ICE in airports now because an impatient person in line has the potential to go psycho.

Service at the airports has now become poor,

But this is what you voted for.

You chose to vote for a nut and a clown.

Now, the government is in a partial shutdown.
