DHS Shutdown Affecting TSA Won’t Last Forever, Hopefully

Airlines for America CEO Chris Sununu says he’s hoping the Department of Homeland Security shutdown currently affecting the Transportation Security Administration will end by April. It’s a pretty modest goal, considering the new secretary is set to come in around that time. Sununu’s exact words: ‘At most, my hope is that it’s maybe the first week in April, at most, when the new secretary comes in…’

What’s Taking So Long?

It’s not like the shutdown is a surprise. But what’s ridiculous is that it’s taking this long to sort out. Sununu’s hope for an April end is about as optimistic as you can get at this point. Let’s see if it actually happens.
